Responsibilities
- Learn & Apply: Master the logic and configuration of Oracle Workforce Scheduling, applying your analytical background to understand shift assignments, availability algorithms, and complex labor rules.
- Data-Driven Insights: Analyze scheduling metrics and large datasets to identify trends, process bottlenecks, and areas for automation or improvement.
- Troubleshooting: Act as a technical problem-solver for complex scheduling issues. Dive into system logic, data models, and configurations to resolve discrepancies in shift generation and eligibility.
- Continuous Improvement: Proactively identify opportunities to leverage advanced optimization algorithms, system features, or custom scripts to drive operational efficiency.
- Release Testing: Participate in end-to-end testing for Oracle Quarterly Release Updates. Apply a methodical, scientific approach to regression testing, ensuring zero-day stability.
- System Health: Monitor background processes, data flows, and automated scheduling engines to ensure system accuracy.
- Solution Development: Work alongside senior technologists to support data integrations (via APIs or tools like Power Automate) and build reporting queries (using SQL or similar data extraction methods) to bridge system gaps.
- Business Partnership: Collaborative Problem Solving: Partner with a centralized group of professional schedulers to understand their operational needs, pain points, and customer traffic patterns.
- Knowledge Sharing: Translate complex technical concepts into user-friendly guidance, helping to define and enforce global scheduling standards.
- Adaptability: Stay abreast of industry trends in algorithmic scheduling and workforce management technologies.
Qualifications
- Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field (e.g., Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a highly analytical equivalent) earned recently.
- Experience: 0–2 years of professional experience. Internships, academic research, or capstone projects involving data analysis, systems modeling, or programming are highly valued.
- Technical & Cognitive Skills: Analytical Prowess: Exceptional logical reasoning and problem-solving skills. Ability to deconstruct complex, multi-variable problems (much like a physics or math equation) and design elegant solutions.
- Technical Aptitude: Familiarity with or eagerness to learn data querying (SQL), data visualization/modeling, and API-based integrations.
- Systems Thinking: Ability to understand how data flows between interconnected systems (e.g., from a scheduling engine into payroll).
- Communication: Strong ability to document technical processes clearly and communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Commitment: Standard 40-hour week with occasional support required during major software release windows.
