About the Role

Zappy BPO is seeking a seasoned Operations Manager to oversee day‑to‑day delivery for one of our key technology clients.

This person will serve as the operational backbone; driving team performance, ensuring SLA adherence, resolving escalations, and coaching a growing team of support professionals to deliver world‑class service.

Key Responsibilities

  • Team Leadership & Performance Management

Manage a team of customer experience associates handling multi‑channel (chat, email, voice) support.

  • Conduct weekly performance reviews, 1 : 1 coaching, and skill development sessions.
  • Track and report KPIs such as CSAT, response time, resolution rate, and backlog health.
  • Escalation & Incident Management
  • Act as the point of escalation for complex or high‑priority tickets.

  • Coordinate cross‑functionally to ensure timely and accurate resolution.
  • Identify recurring issues and partner with client‑side stakeholders to address root causes.
  • Process Optimization & Quality Assurance
  • Develop and refine SOPs to ensure consistent handling of customer issues.

  • Lead regular quality audits and calibration sessions to maintain service excellence.
  • Implement workflow and CRM improvements to streamline case management and reduce handling time.
  • Training & Development
  • Design and deliver ongoing product and process training for new and existing team members.

  • Partner with internal QA and training teams to update documentation and learning materials as the client’s product evolves.
  • Operational Reporting & Stakeholder Management
  • Deliver weekly and monthly performance reports highlighting insights, risks, and opportunities for improvement.

  • Collaborate with client‑side operations leaders to forecast staffing needs and align resources with volume trends.
  • Drive initiatives that improve retention, engagement, and productivity across the support organization.
  • Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience managing customer support or BPO operations teams (preferably in a SaaS, fintech, or consumer tech environment).
  • Exceptional spoken and written English; comfortable holding conversations over the phone and Zoom.
  • Proven success managing remote or distributed teams.
  • Strong knowledge of CRM / ticketing systems (e.g., Zendesk, Freshdesk, Salesforce Service Cloud).
  • Excellent communication, data interpretation, and stakeholder management skills.
  • Experience with process optimization, QA frameworks, and escalation handling.
  • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, growth‑oriented client environment.
  • Preferred Attributes

  • Experience supporting technology or marketplace clients with high transaction volumes.
  • Familiarity with setting up new accounts, managing client SLAs, and building training programs from the ground up.
  • A proactive, analytical mindset with a passion for coaching and continuous improvement.
