POSITION DESCRIPTION:
This position serves as a Voice Systems Analyst supporting DCF's statewide enterprise telephony, unified communications, and contact center environment. The environment supports approximately 6,000 Department users in addition to approximately eight contact centers, including systems supporting the Florida Abuse Hotline and Economic Self-Sufficiency statewide operations.
The position performs administration, configuration, analysis, troubleshooting, documentation, project coordination, and daily operational support for enterprise voice and contact center technologies. Supported services may include Voice over IP, SIP trunks, carrier services, DID and toll-free numbers, call routing, automatic call distribution, interactive voice response, call queues, softphones, physical endpoints, voicemail, call recording, workforce management, reporting, and related integrations.
The incumbent works directly with DCF business units to understand operational needs, gather and document business and technical requirements, evaluate existing workflows, and assist with identifying appropriate technical solutions. The position independently coordinates smaller telephony and contact center projects and serves as a technical resource on larger projects managed by Department leadership, a project manager, or another designated project owner.
This is a highly self-directed position. Management establishes organizational priorities, expected outcomes, applicable standards, and escalation paths; however, the incumbent is responsible for independently planning and managing daily work, determining appropriate next steps, maintaining momentum, initiating follow-up, coordinating with customers and vendors, identifying risks, and producing complete and timely results.
The position is not structured around continuous task assignment, detailed day-to-day supervision, or repeated management reminders. The incumbent must be capable of receiving an assignment or expected outcome, developing an appropriate course of action, identifying needed resources and participants, carrying the work forward, and keeping management informed without depending upon management to direct each individual step.
The incumbent is expected to take ownership of assigned work and remain responsible for its progress through resolution, implementation, or formal transition. This includes monitoring open items, following up on outstanding responses, identifying and addressing potential delays, providing status updates before they are requested, and escalating barriers early enough for corrective action to be taken.
The incumbent must be comfortable and confident representing the Telephony Team in discussions with customers, vendors, technical teams, service providers, and Department leadership. The employee must be able to ask appropriate questions, explain technical issues clearly, manage expectations professionally, document decisions, establish next steps, and ensure that commitments are followed through to completion.
Independent work does not mean acting outside established authority or Department processes. The successful candidate must exercise sound judgment regarding when to proceed independently, when to consult with team members or management, when formal approval is required, and when an issue, risk, or decision must be escalated.
This is not a traditional network administration position. However, the position requires working knowledge of networking concepts and services as they relate to voice, unified communications, and contact center technologies.
The successful candidate must be organized, focused, dependable, thorough, customer-focused, and attentive to detail. The individual must demonstrate initiative, personal accountability, professional confidence, excellent follow-through, and the ability to produce results with limited day-to-day oversight while collaborating effectively with technical teams, business representatives, vendors, and Department leadership.
Because this position supports mission-critical and 24-hour operations, including the Florida Abuse Hotline, and 3 hospital facilities, participation in an on-call rotation and after-hours maintenance or incident response is required.
ESSENTIAL WORK STYLE AND ACCOUNTABILITY EXPECTATIONS:
The incumbent is expected to:
Work independently and productively with limited day-to-day supervision.
Take ownership of assigned issues, projects, customer requests, and operational responsibilities.
Organize and prioritize daily work based on operational impact, urgency, deadlines, dependencies, and established Department priorities.
Determine and initiate appropriate next steps without waiting for routine task-by-task instruction.
Maintain focus and forward progress while managing interruptions, competing priorities, incidents, customer needs, and project responsibilities.
Track open assignments, commitments, customer requests, vendor actions, due dates, risks, and unresolved issues.
Initiate follow-up with customers, vendors, service providers, and technical teams without waiting for management reminders.
Remain accountable for assigned work through resolution, implementation, documentation, validation, or formal transition to another responsible party.
Provide accurate and timely status updates without requiring management to repeatedly request information.
Communicate potential delays, risks, failures, or resource needs as soon as they are identified.
Arrive at meetings prepared, contribute confidently, document decisions and action items, and complete assigned follow-up.
Communicate clearly and professionally with customers and vendors, including during difficult, time-sensitive, or service-impacting situations.
Develop reasonable recommendations and potential solutions rather than presenting problems without analysis or proposed next steps.
Exercise sound independent judgment while complying with technical standards, security requirements, change-management procedures, and approval processes.
