  • Provide mentoring, training, and coaching for team members, including identifying and conducting upskilling programs.
  • Oversee HR-related matters, including grievance management, disciplinary processes, and counselling, ensuring alignment with legal requirements and internal HR policies.
  • Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement

  • Identify opportunities to optimize frontline workflows and enhance customer satisfaction through technology, training, and process innovation.
  • Lead initiatives to improve service delivery, onboarding, training, and knowledge management.
  • Ensure compliance with internal policies, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.
  • Budgeting & Strategic Planning

  • Collaborate with team leaders, account managers, and cross-functional stakeholders to formulate and implement business plans aligned with company strategy.
  • Coordinate and align activities with internal stakeholders to ensure seamless execution of initiatives and service delivery improvements.
