Job description

Hey, mabuhay!

Thanks for dropping by. We know looking for the right job can feel like being stuck in EDSA traffic, so we’ll keep it moving and get straight to the point.

With over 8 million downloads and a powerful network of thousand of dedicated biker-partners, we are a leading ride-hailing platform operating across the Philippines. Our vision is to end poverty in the Philippines through revolutionary transportation solutions. We aim to provide our customers with convenient, reliable, and safe rides, impacting millions of lives positively every single day.

Now, we're looking for a Workforce Specialist Service Excellence. As a Workforce Specialist at Angkas, acts as the operational backbone and tactical "brain" of the Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) industry. Its primary objective is to ensure the right number of agents, with the right skills, are in the right seats at the right time to handle customer interactions efficiently while minimizing operational costs.

Responsible for;

• Demand Forecasting:
• Analyzes historical data, seasonal trends, marketing campaigns, and business cycles to predict future contact volumes (calls, chats, emails).
• Calculates required staffing hours using standard formulas (e.g., Forecasted Volume × Average Handle Time 360 secs)

• Staff Scheduling & Rostering:
• Builds optimal shift patterns, breaks, and off-days to match predicted peak and slow periods.
• Balances employee preferences, skill-set requirements, and labor rules while minimizing overstaffing or understaffing.

• Real-Time (Intraday) Management:
• Monitors live dashboards, queue lengths, average speed of answer (ASA), and abandon rates.
• Responds immediately to unexpected call spikes, system outages, or high absenteeism by reallocating staff, moving breaks, or calling in overtime.

• Adherence and Attendance Tracking:
• Tracks whether agents are logged in, handling contacts, or on scheduled breaks (aux/offline time) as planned.
• Measures schedule adherence to make sure agents stay productive during paid hours.

• SLA (Service Level Agreement) Protection:
• Ensures the Department meets or exceeds strict Management metrics (e.g., answering 85% of calls in 40 seconds, chats within 5 mins) to avoid potential cost

• Reporting and Analytics:
• Generates operational scorecards, shrinkage tracking, attrition data, and productivity reports for internal leadership and external clients.
• Evaluates long-term efficiency to refine future labor planning and payroll accuracy.

At Angkas, we believe in giving our people the trust and flexibility to work in a way that helps them and their teams perform at their best. Whether you’re working onsite, remotely, or in a hybrid setup, we provide the flexibility, you bring the drive.

Let’s get this show on the road!

• Data Analytics on reading historical trends, tracking KPIs, and turning raw numbers into smart staffing decisions.
• Forecasting and Planning on predicting future workloads based on seasonality, business cycles, and past performance.
• Scheduling capability to building fair, cost-effective shifts that match employee availability with real-time operational needs.
• Compliance Knowledge to understanding labor laws, break rules, and overtime regulations to reduce legal risk.
• Software Proficiency to build templates and knowledge to use software WFM tools
• Communication in explaining complex staffing changes and schedule policies clearly to both workers and managers.
• Problem-Solving on fixing sudden staffing gaps or emergency absences quickly without hurting productivity.
• Supporting team members, building trust, and boosting workplace morale.
• Prioritizing daily operational tasks while keeping an eye on long-term goals.

• Bachelor's degree in a relevant field, or equivalent reporting
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in WFM
