Explora Experience Centre RTA

Where passion meets opportunity

Discover your journey into the extraordinary.

Your Purpose

Explora Journeys is a vibrant, cosmopolitan, European luxury brand, imagined in the heart of

Swiss hospitality in Geneva. Leveraging our parent company MSC Group’s hundreds of years

of maritime expertise, our fleet of six luxury ships (four currently in the pipeline) are being

built and designed in a totally different and unique way that will transform and redefine the

cruise experience, creating a category of its own, appealing to the next generation of luxury

travellers.

The WFM Real-Time Analyst is responsible for monitoring and managing the day-to-day

workforce operations of the Explora Journeys global contact centre. Covering inbound,

outbound, and digital channels, this role ensures service level adherence, optimised staffing,

and rapid response to intraday changes, while upholding the luxury guest experience

standard.

The Real-Time Analyst acts as the “command centre” for workforce performance, proactively

identifying variances, recommending adjustments, and partnering with Operations to

maintain efficiency across multiple geographies and time zones.

This role is based in the office out of our Johannesburg Office.

interaction flow.

Ensure technology usage aligns with efficiency and luxury service delivery goals.
