Ideal Candidate
A sharp, articulate and business-oriented operations leader who has successfully managed large voice contact centre operations, understands the evolving AI-led customer service landscape and can combine operational discipline with transformation thinking.
This is a leadership opportunity for someone who can run large operations efficiently while preparing the contact centre for its next phase of technology-led transformation.
Must Haves:
We would be quite particular about three things while screening:
1. Actual voice operations experience:
2. Scale: Minimum approximately 1,000 people, rather than overall organisational headcount. Should have P&L; experience
3. AI transformation: Look for candidates who have actually implemented AI, automation or GenAI initiatives, not merely participated in discussions or strategy presentations.
