- Develop and maintain QA frameworks, scoring rubrics, and training programs to enhance quality assurance processes.
- Analyze quality metrics and performance trends, providing insights and recommendations to operations and client teams.
- Facilitate calibration sessions with the QA team and operations to ensure consistency in scoring and quality standards.
- Collaborate with training and development teams to design effective coaching programs based on quality findings.
- Conduct regular audits and assessments of QA practices to refine processes and identify areas for continuous improvement.
- Act as the primary liaison for client quality discussions, presenting performance reports and addressing feedback.
- Mentor and develop QA team members, fostering a culture of accountability and continuous learning.
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in quality assurance within a BPO or customer service environment, with at least 2 years in a leadership role.
- Strong understanding of QA methodologies, metrics, and best practices, particularly in a contact center setting.
- Proven ability to lead and develop teams, with excellent mentoring and coaching skills.
- Familiarity with performance management tools and customer experience metrics.
- Experience working with food delivery platforms, restaurant technology, or POS systems is a plus.
- Exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with a keen eye for detail.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills, capable of presenting findings and recommendations clearly.
- Ability to work collaboratively across departments and with client stakeholders.
- Proficient in using QA tools and customer support platforms (e.g., Zendesk, Intercom) to track performance and drive improvements.
- Adaptable and proactive, with a passion for driving quality and operational excellence.
