Job Description:

Position Purpose

Drives the daily operational performance and real-time execution of the helpdesk team. This role balances workforce monitoring, service level compliance, and active agent coaching to foster a high-performance service environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Queue & Service Level Management: Actively monitor real-time call queues, abandon rates, and ticket backlogs to dynamically shift resources and secure daily SLA targets.
  • Performance Coaching: Conduct structured weekly call monitoring audits and monthly performance feedback sessions for L1 and L2 agents to improve quality and FCR.
  • Operational Escalations: Act as the first formal escalation point for critical operational challenges, vendor disconnects, or highly dissatisfied employees.
  • Quality Assurance: Partner with the Quality Analyst to review team performance metrics, identify training gaps, and implement targeted remediation plans.
  • Team Engagement: Manage front-line team culture, driving initiatives to boost employee engagement, prevent burnout, and reduce team attrition.

Experience in Years

  • Total Experience: 5 to 7 years of professional experience in customer management/operations.
  • Domain-Specific Experience: Minimum 2 years of direct people management or supervisory experience leading a team within a voice-capable contact centre or an HR Shared Services hub.

Ideal Candidate Experience & Profile

  • People Developer: The ideal candidate is an inspiring front-line captain who has successfully managed groups of 10–15 agents, focusing heavily on operational metrics without losing sight of human morale.
  • Metric-Driven Floor Manager: They are hyper-aware of real-time dashboards. They know exactly when a spike in call volume requires altering break schedules or pulling an agent out of an offline task.
  • Constructive Coach: They have mastered the art of delivering direct, actionable performance feedback that motivates underperforming agents rather than discouraging them.
  • Process Fixer: They don't just patch problems; they proactively identify when a high volume of L1 transfers means the team needs an updated SOP or a refresher training session.

Required Skills & Qualifications

  • Operational Literacy: Solid understanding of contact center dynamics and core metrics (e.g., SLA, Occupancy, Shrinkage, CSAT, ASA).
  • Communication: Powerful interpersonal skills; able to deliver constructive, actionable feedback to team members and articulate operational issues clearly to management.
  • Problem Solving: Ability to make quick, data-driven decisions under pressure to resolve real-time staffing or queue bottlenecks.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in HR, Business Administration, or a related field is preferred.
