Job Description
Are you someone who enjoys solving problems in real time, working with data, and helping a fast-paced operation stay one step ahead? This role offers the opportunity to make a direct impact on the performance of our Direct Phone Sales organization, supporting both Allstate Sales and National General Sales Contact Centers.
As a Direct Sales Workforce Management Consultant, you’ll play an important role in ensuring our contact centers have the right resources in place to meet sales and service goals. You’ll monitor real-time performance, analyze workforce trends, and make timely recommendations that help balance customer demand with staffing needs.
This role is ideal for someone who is analytical, proactive, comfortable making decisions in a rapidly changing environment, and energized by partnering with associates and leaders across the business. You’ll also support key workforce management activities including scheduling, training coordination, telephony skilling, new hire readiness, and staffing initiatives.
Success in this role requires strong critical thinking, excellent communication, a customer-focused mindset, and the ability to confidently navigate workforce management and contact center technologies such as Verint, AWS, Avaya, and Alvaria.
Key Responsibilities
- Monitor real-time contact center performance and take proactive action to help maintain appropriate work conditions and achieve service-level goals.
- Analyze key workforce and contact center metrics, including call forecasts, volume trends, average handle time, agent adherence, and auxiliary time, to identify trends and recommend solutions.
- Evaluate and process agent scheduling requests, including time away, flex time, overtime, and off-phone activities, while balancing forecasted staffing requirements.
- Support workforce management activities such as training schedules, telephony skilling, new hire preparation, and staffing initiatives.
- Apply sound judgment, analytical thinking, and problem-solving skills to daily responsibilities, assignments, and longer-term projects.
- Adapt quickly to changing business needs, effectively manage multiple priorities, and act with a sense of urgency when needed.
- Build strong partnerships and deliver an excellent experience through clear, professional communication with associates, leaders, and key stakeholders.
- Work within scheduling and ACD platforms, including Verint, AWS, and Avaya, to support efficient contact center operations.
What You’ll Bring
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to see both the details and the bigger picture.
- A proactive, forward-thinking approach with the ability to anticipate needs and identify solutions.
- Confidence making informed decisions and navigating situations where the answer may not always be black and white.
- Strong adaptability and comfort working in a dynamic, frequently changing environment.
- A systems-oriented mindset with the ability to learn and work across multiple technologies.
- Strong organization and multitasking skills with the ability to manage competing priorities.
- A collaborative approach and ability to build effective partnerships across teams and levels.
- A passion for creating a positive experience for associates, leaders, and customers.
- A willingness to challenge ideas, bring new perspectives, and contribute a positive, get-it-done attitude to the team.
Experience
- 2 or more years of relevant experience preferred.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is more than a scheduling role. It’s an opportunity to sit at the intersection of people, data, technology, and contact center operations, using workforce insights to influence real-time business decisions and help teams deliver strong sales and customer experiences.

The candidate(s) offered this position will be required to submit to a background investigation.
Joining our team isn’t just a job — it’s an opportunity. One that takes your skills and pushes them to the next level. One that encourages you to challenge the status quo. One where you can shape the future of protection while supporting causes that mean the most to you. Joining our team means being part of something bigger – a winning team making a meaningful impact.
