- Manage and develop a team of 10–12 Account Operations Advisors, with a focus on individual career growth, strengths-based coaching, and building deep expertise in handling complex customer situations.

- Actively participate in the hiring, interviewing, and training of new agents to maintain high performance standards across the team.
- Act as the final point of internal escalation for complex, high-priority customer issues that require managerial support - knowing when to step in and when to coach your team through it.
- Support your team in navigating nuanced, multi-layered customer interactions across phone, chat, and email.
- Lead or significantly contribute to high-impact operational projects including SOP design, macro development, quality scoring frameworks, and efficiency programs that improve the advisor and customer experience.
- Serve as a primary point of contact for internal partners (e.g., Product, Finance, Legal) on initiatives that require operational input, procedural change, or frontline perspective.
- Translate operational data (SLA, TTR, AHT trends, and more) into clear, actionable narratives that inform team strategy and influence roadmaps.
- Continually look for opportunities to improve how your team works: smarter workflows, better tools, clearer processes, and a stronger team culture.
What you'll need to thrive (Requirements)
- 5+ years in customer support
- 2+ years experience in leading & managing teams
- Excellent communication and conflict resolution skills, particularly in handling escalated customer and internal stakeholder issues.
- Proven track record of driving operational improvement projects (e.g., SOP creation, quality scoring, efficiency programs).
- Strong data literacy - you know how to use metrics like SLA, AHT, or CSAT to tell a story, make a case, and drive action, not just report numbers.
