About the Role

At Pavago, one of our clients is hiring an Operations Specialist to oversee day-to-day workforce operations and ensure seamless execution across a live scheduling platform.

This is not an administrative support role.

You'll own the complete shift lifecycle—from workforce onboarding and scheduling to real-time issue resolution and client communication—ensuring every shift is filled, every professional is supported, and every client receives exceptional service.

You'll work across:

• Workforce coordination
• Shift fulfillment
• Scheduling
• Attendance monitoring
• Client communication
• Live operations
• Process improvement

If you thrive in fast-paced operational environments, enjoy solving problems in real time, and take ownership from start to finish, this role is built for you.

What You'll Own

Shift Fulfillment & Scheduling

• Own the end-to-end shift fulfillment process.
• Respond quickly to incoming client staffing requests.
• Assign professionals to shifts based on availability and qualifications.
• Confirm attendance and workforce availability before every shift.

Live Operations & Issue Resolution

• Respond immediately to:
• Late arrivals
• No-shows
• Shift cancellations
• Scheduling conflicts
• Coordinate replacement coverage when needed.
• Communicate directly with clients, on-site managers, and workforce professionals.
• Resolve operational issues while maintaining a high level of customer service.

Operations & Process Improvement

• Maintain organized operational records and tracking systems.
• Keep attendance, fulfillment, and scheduling documentation accurate and up to date.
• Identify recurring operational bottlenecks.
• Recommend workflow improvements that increase speed, reliability, and service quality.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across operations.
