BPO Operations Manager

Let's start with the role:

The BPO Operations Manager owns overall Customer Service performance, ensuring consistent quality, strong execution, and delivery against business expectations. They monitor performance and impact, develop strategies, and intervene where results, quality, or execution fall below standards, while also serving as the second level of escalation across internal stakeholders, departments, BPO partners, and the internal BPO-facing team. 

The role ensures that processes, structures, and ways of working enable the team to operate effectively, scale, and continuously improve. They turn team insights into clear, prioritized actions that drive measurable results across key Customer Service KPIs. 

Key Responsibilities

• Actively collaborate and exchange best practices, insights and initiatives with the Backoffice team, QA/QC, Training, Content and other internal teams to address gaps in quality, knowledge and processes;
• Identify, together with Leads, structural and high-impact issues affecting performance and customer experience, and elevate them;
• Build and follow up on forward-looking plans that align initiatives, risks and opportunities with expected KPI outcomes; 
• Balance short-term actions (real-time fixes) with mid- and long-term structural improvements;
• Partner with WFM in planning and before execution to improve forecast accuracy, including business continuity planning.

• Strong Customer Service experience, with 3–5 years of experience in Customer Service operations;
