Remote working
Is this a role for you?
If you’ve never previously had responsibility for operational KPIs, SLA performance, client relationships or leading support teams within a BPO or contact centre environment, this role is probably not the right fit.
This is not an ‘account coordination’ position. You’ll be trusted to lead client relationships, drive operational performance, support Team Leads, manage multiple moving parts and take genuine ownership of outcomes.
You’ll also need to be genuinely confident switching between English and German in professional environments, sometimes multiple times a day, with both clients and internal teams. If translating a sentence in your head before speaking sounds stressful, this probably won’t be enjoyable for you.
And if terms like CSAT, SLA risk, operational reporting and workforce performance sound mildly terrifying, we completely respect your honesty.
But if you enjoy being the person clients trust, teams rely on, and operations genuinely improve because you’re involved, you’ll probably fit in very well here.
