Training & Quality Lead

About Aspora

People on the move deserve a bank that moves with them. Since 2022, Aspora has been building a borderless financial operating system that makes money as mobile and transparent as its users.

Backed by influential venture capitalists like Sequoia Capital, Greylock Partners, Hummingbird Ventures, Y Combinator & Global Founders Capital. We're a team of 150+ across India, the UK, the UAE, EU and the US, working with extreme ownership, radical candour, and an obsession with customer impact.

We celebrate builders who question assumptions, ship fast, and turn regulatory complexity into elegant solutions. If you’re driven to redefine what global banking can be, we’d love to build the future with you.

About the Role

As Training & Quality Lead, you will own Aspora's end-to-end learning and quality assurance function building the capability infrastructure that powers a world-class CX operation. You'll be the strategic bridge between people development and operational excellence, translating quality signals into training interventions and ensuring every customer interaction reflects Aspora's standard of care.

This is a high-ownership role for someone who thrives at the intersection of data, people, and process — and wants to shape what great looks like in a fast-scaling fintech.

Location: Bangalore, India

What You'll Do

Training

• Design, own, and continuously improve the end-to-end training lifecycle: onboarding, product training, process training, soft skills, compliance, and refresher programs.

• Develop training content including SOPs, scripts, e-learning modules, role-plays, and assessments aligned to product and regulatory updates.

• Manage new hire induction and certification programs to ensure readiness before live customer handling.

• Conduct Training Needs Analysis (TNA) in partnership with quality audit data, CSAT trends, and ORM signals from Locobuzz.

• Build capability maps for CX teams and design Individual Development Plans (IDPs) for high-potential agents.

• Evaluate training effectiveness through knowledge checks, post-training assessments, and 30-60-90 day performance tracking.

Quality Governance

• Own and evolve the Quality Evaluation Framework (QEF) across all interaction channels — voice, chat, email, and digital.

• Drive calibration sessions with Quality Auditors, team leaders, and operations managers to maintain scoring consistency.

• Review audit findings and translate patterns into structured coaching interventions, process fixes, and training sprints.

• Publish monthly T&Q scorecards for leadership covering quality scores, training completion, certification rates, and improvement trends.

• Partner with compliance and legal teams to embed regulatory requirements into QEF parameters and training content.

• Define and track KPIs for the Quality Auditor team — audit throughput, calibration accuracy, and coaching effectiveness — via Kapture.

People Management & Leadership

• Manage, mentor, and develop the Quality Auditor team — set individual performance goals, conduct regular 1:1s, and run periodic appraisal reviews.

• Build a culture of continuous improvement within the team: celebrate wins, address performance gaps early, and create growth pathways for auditors.

• Define team-level SOPs, audit playbooks, and knowledge repositories to ensure standardisation and reduce key-person dependency.

• Identify and groom high-potential team members for expanded responsibilities within the T&Q function.

• Act as a strategic partner to Operations, Product, and CX leadership on quality and capability roadmaps.

• Represent the T&Q function in business reviews, regulatory audits, and internal governance forums.
