Contact Centre Specialist (Engineering Focus)

At Optus, we don't sit back and let the future happen to us - we're out there making it. By expanding into new technology and relentlessly improving every day, we're creating a better tomorrow for all Australians.

We believe in the strength of a vibrant, diverse and inclusive workforce where backgrounds, perspectives and life experiences of our people help us innovate and create strong connections with our customers.

In your role, you will facilitate the delivery of managed services and utilise your technical skills as an engineer for Contact Centre technologies in accordance with the contracted service level agreements. You will work with a large Enterprise Customer, internal stakeholders and vendors to provide technical support and assist with incident management.

This role is accountable for delivering brilliant service to a large enterprise customer across key technologies including CISCO UCCE, NICE MPower and Verint WFO. Deep domain technical skills are required specifically in Cisco UCCE, with a strong understanding of all Cisco UCCE contact centre products a must. A strong vendor management focus is key in this role, working closely with various vendors, driving the right outcomes for our customers.

• Help us keep our customer systems running smoothly by ensuring important issues get the attention they need.

This role operates between 7 am and 7 pm, Monday to Friday, with shifts provided at least four weeks in advance. There may be after-hours work for planned changes, and you'll have opportunities to earn 'on call/call out' allowances.

• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive approach.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal abilities.

• Ability to follow processes and guidelines.
• A genuine interest in the world of Contact Centre administration/configuration
