Operations Manager

Job Description

Operations Manager (Strategic Shared Services)

JOB SUMMARY

The Operations Manager is a high-impact leadership role responsible for supporting and guiding a dedicated Philippines-based team in close partnership with U.S.-based leadership.

This is a role for a proactive leader with real-world experience in customer service and call flow management. It is not a passive supervisory position; it requires an individual who can drive collaboration, manage employee relations, and ensure the team remains a cohesive, high-performing unit while reinforcing the processes established by the U.S. headquarters.

Requirements

• Experience: 5–8+ years of experience in Operations Management or Site Leadership within a BPO or shared services environment.
  
• Industry Background: Previous experience in Field Services (e.g., HVAC, Plumbing, or Construction) is highly preferred.

• Operational Knowledge: Solid understanding of customer service and call flow management.
  
• Communication: Excellent English communication skills with the ability to provide clear, professional updates to executive stakeholders.
