  • Communicate status updates, progress reports, and key outcomes clearly and consistently.
  • Data Management & Reporting

  • Process Optimization & Quality Assurance

  • Support the creation and refinement of SOPs to improve consistency and scalability.
  • Audit workflows regularly to ensure compliance with quality and performance standards.
  • Suggest process improvements to increase efficiency and reduce operational errors.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with team leads, quality, and training teams to ensure smooth handoffs and performance alignment.
  • Coordinate with other departments (finance, HR, tech) as needed to resolve operational dependencies.
  • Participate in recurring syncs and client meetings to maintain alignment across stakeholders.
  • Qualifications

  • 3–5 years of experience in operations, project coordination, or account support (BPO, logistics, or tech environment preferred).
  • Exceptional organizational and multitasking skills with strong attention to detail.
  • Excellent spoken and written English; comfortable communicating with U.S.-based clients and cross-functional teams.
  • Proficiency with tools like Google Workspace, Excel / Sheets, CRMs, and project management platforms (e.g., Asana, Monday.com, Notion, or ClickUp).
  • Demonstrated ability to analyze data, identify patterns, and translate insights into action.
