Team leader, customer operations

About the role

You will lead a pod of 12 to 15 customer experience associates, owning their performance against contractual service levels and owning their development. This is a people leadership role first and a metrics role second, on the reasoning that the metrics follow the people. We fill leadership roles internally wherever possible. This posting is open externally because we are growing faster than internal promotion alone can cover, and external leaders bring perspective our internal pipeline does not.

Key responsibilities

• Lead a pod of 12 to 15 associates through the full employment lifecycle: onboarding, performance management, coaching, development and, where necessary, exit
• Own daily, weekly and monthly pod performance against CSAT, FCR, AHT, quality, adherence and attendance targets
• Run daily huddles covering priorities, programme updates and coaching points
• Deliver real-time floor coaching including side-by-side monitoring and post-interaction debriefs
• Conduct weekly one-to-one meetings with every direct report covering performance, development, career path and wellbeing
• Handle tier one escalations including customer escalation calls and complex complaints
• Perform root cause analysis on recurring issues, quality misses and service level breaches
• Author and deliver performance improvement plans in coordination with HR and the Operations Manager
• Coordinate with quality analysts on calibration and coaching priorities
• Coordinate with workforce management on scheduling, shift bids and real-time adherence
• Represent the pod in client-facing performance reviews where required
• Author daily end-of-shift reports covering volume, service level, incidents and actions
• Identify and develop successors, contributing to the internal leadership pipeline
• Escalate people risks and wellbeing concerns promptly

Required qualifications

• Native or equivalent Spanish
• English at CEFR C1, assessed before offer
• Minimum two years leading a team of ten or more in a contact centre or comparable operational environment
• Demonstrable track record of leading a team to meet or exceed service level and quality targets
• Experience conducting one-to-ones, delivering performance feedback and authoring improvement plans
• Familiarity with contact centre metrics and the levers that move each one
• University degree in business, communication, psychology, human resources or a related field, or equivalent demonstrated experience
• Availability for rotating shifts aligned to team coverage
• Availability to work onsite in Santo Domingo
• Valid Dominican ID or work permit

Preferred qualifications

• Experience across multiple client programmes or verticals
• COPC, HDI, ICMI or Six Sigma certification
• Prior experience as a trainer or quality analyst
• Experience with workforce management and quality monitoring platforms
• Experience leading teams serving United States or Canadian clients
