About the job

Requirements
  • At least 12 years of progressive customer service, contact-center, or client-operations leadership, including senior ownership of a high-volume inbound center.
  • Direct experience leading an onsite team and BPO, offshore, or nearshore partners in more than one country.
  • Proven ownership of contact-center key performance indicators and a departmental budget.
  • Experience in a regulated, documentation-heavy, or case-based environment.
  • Strength in workforce management, quality, knowledge management, and escalation design.
  • Vendor management and contract-performance experience, plus comfort with time zones, cultural differences, and data-security requirements.
  • A bachelor's degree is required.
  • A leadership style that is calm under volume and scrutiny, direct and fair with managers, specific, and evidence-based in coaching.
  • A commitment to protecting both the client and the firm, treating service quality and compliance as non-negotiable.
Responsibilities
  • Own end-to-end customer service operations for tax-relief clients, including inbound inquiries, case-status support, and case-management workflows.
  • Lead onsite customer service managers, supervisors, and frontline staff, and manage the performance of multi-country BPO teams.
  • Design and run the operating model across sites, including coverage hours, volume routing, overflow, surge capacity, and business continuity.
  • Own the customer service scorecard, including service level, handle time, abandonment, first-contact resolution, quality and compliance, customer satisfaction or equivalent, occupancy, and case aging.
  • Set quality assurance, calibration, and coaching standards so every site handles tax-relief conversations accurately, empathetically, and with proper documentation.
  • Manage the customer service budget, including onsite labor, BPO spend, tools, and overhead.
  • Oversee BPO contracts and vendor performance, including service-level agreements, quality, staffing commitments, and data security; drive corrective action when partners miss plan.
  • Hire, develop, and manage the performance of onsite customer service leadership, and hold staffing and results accountable across the network.
  • Resolve major escalations, track complaint trends, and drive cross-functional fixes with the Operations, Compliance, Sales, and Resolution teams.
  • Ensure seasonal and campaign readiness so filing-season and notice-driven volume does not disrupt service or cost.
Desired Qualifications
  • An MBA or equivalent operating experience.
  • Background in tax, tax resolution, debt relief, consumer finance, or professional services involving high-emotion client conversations.
  • Experience standing up or modernizing CCaaS, CRM, quality assurance, and knowledge platforms, and practical use of artificial intelligence in service.
