About the Role:

As a Customer Support Team Lead, your primary role is to be an exceptional coach for your team. Your responsibility is to provide agents with constructive feedback, identify the root causes of performance issues, and train them to address and correct those problems. You maintain high standards for your team and aren’t afraid to say, “This needs improvement, and here’s why.” You ensure that the customer experience remains the focal point of every discussion, set SMART goals for performance improvement, and deliver feedback that aligns with our standards.

• Closely monitoring agent performance, primarily in terms of quality, productivity, and attendance metrics, with a primary goal of maintaining quality assurance scores above 90%

• Occasionally handling angry customer escalations
• Ensure schedule adherence by agents and desired productivity levels
• Maintaining coaching logs and providing regular written feedback to agents
• Comfortably navigate our support environment, which includes tools such as Zendesk, Metabase, and Five9
• Listen to team members’ feedback and resolve any challenges or conflicts
• Initiate consequence management steps in the case of low-performing team members
• Delegate tasks to high potential team members to build a culture of learning and development in the team

This is a fully remote position. We operate 24/7 and follow a rotating roster. The expectation is that individuals should be able to work overlapping hours with EST/PST time zones and be available for weekend shifts if needed in case of emergencies. In return, you’ll have the flexibility to take time off on other days of the week.
