Contact Center Scheduling Supervisor jobs in Portland, OR

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing you can lead a high-performing, customer-facing team that is the heartbeat of our business

Are you ready to build on your call center and customer service career experiences and lead your own team at a place where CSR and Dispatcher are recognized as two of the most important roles in the company?

Are you equally comfortable empathetically speaking with a distressed customer and analytically evaluating your team’s performance against well-defined goals?

Would your current colleagues describe you as a good coach who has helped them develop and win as a team?

Bring those qualities and experiences to Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Portland & Vancouver where we protect the health of our community through the most clean, courteous, and professional resolution of water and wastewater system problems.  While our technicians are out in the community saving the day our office team supports them with equally professional business processes.  We are seeking a Contact Center Supervisor to keep everything flowing.  In this role you will lead the team responsible for the customer calls, texts, and emails that fill our appointment schedule as well as the dispatching function that matches our 27 technicians with jobs across the 6 counties we serve in Oregon and Washington.

What Mr. Rooter Plumbing expects of the Contact Center Supervisor

This critical role is eagerly anticipated by the rest of our 50-person team.  The current leader covers both the Contact Center and Marketing, however the size of the company and our growth trajectory necessitate specialization for both departments.  The good news about our former approach is that the new hire will have an experienced partner to learn from during the transition who will also be here as a backup to cover the duties during vacations. Initial responsibilities include:

• Provide high-character leadership and developmental coaching for all segments of the Contact Center

On-site Customer Service Representatives.  In-house team 7-days a week, 6am to 9pm

On-site Dispatchers.  In-house team 7-days a week, 6am to 9pm

Off-site Overflow Call Center.  3rd party service for high-call-volume periods and after-hours

• Personally serve customers when the team needs help.  CSR backup coverage, customer escalations
• Deliver departmental results against measurable targets.  Examples: call booking rate and appointment cancellation rate
• Continually evaluate tool and process adjustments for improved performance.  Example: AI assistance for CSRs

The ideal candidate brings these attributes and experiences:

• Exemplifies the courteous, professional attributes of the Mr. Rooter brand.  No grumps.  No cynics.  When customers call us for plumbing help they are often experiencing a very bad day and facing a problem they don’t know how to solve.  Everyone in the Contact Center needs a reassuring smile that can be heard through the phone and a genuine desire to serve people.
• Development of self and team members to achieve measurable results.  While fun and friendly, the Contact Center is a high-performance environment.  The success of CSRs and Dispatchers in their roles directly impacts the number and quality of the opportunities for our Technicians and the financial health of the business.
• Collaboration across functions without hesitation.  Relative to most plumbing shops our 50-person team is large.  In the grand scheme of companies we’re still a small organization.  To win together we have to help each other.  The Contact Center Supervisor needs a demonstrated history of working across departments and pitching in for the benefit of the larger team.
