Read the full description

You’ll be responsible for turning a group of agents into a high-performing, consistent, and accountable team.

If you’ve led remote teams, built training systems, and improved performance — this role is built for you.

Team Leadership & Performance Management (Core Responsibility)

* Lead and manage offshore customer service agents

Quality Assurance & Customer Experience

* Maintain high standards across:

Operations & Process Improvement

What Makes You a Strong Fit

* You are structured, organized, and process-driven
* You stay calm and decisive under pressure

Required Experience & Skills

* 10+ years experience in customer service leadership

In short:
You ensure the team performs at a high, consistent level — every day.

Key Metrics (KPIs)
