What this role actually does

Responsibilities and pain points, sourced from the production graph.

Key responsibilities

  • Own Multi-site BPO Service Delivery Against Contracted SLAs for Timeliness, Quality, Accuracy, and Client Escalation Response

Software pain points

  • SLA status is reconciled across CCaaS, CRM, WFM, and spreadsheets before every client review
  • Intraday volume spikes leave sites overstaffed in one queue and under-covered in another
  • Automation programs show bot counts but not financial payback, defect reduction, or client value
  • Agent attrition disrupts training capacity, quality scores, and delivery continuity
  • Client escalations move through email and chat with no single accountable owner or due date
  • Quality calibration across sites depends on sample spreadsheets and late manual audits

Workflow

A day in the workflow.

Starts day in Microsoft Teams and Outlook scanning overnight SLA escalations, client emails, and queue alerts; opens Power BI and NICE CXone to compare volume, backlog, QA, and staffing adherence by site; moves into Excel to test margin, headcount, and cost-per-transaction scenarios before a Zoom operations stand-up with delivery directors; spends late morning in Salesforce Service Cloud and ServiceNow reviewing client cases, change requests, and incident blockers; uses Genesys Cloud CX, Five9, or Zendesk dashboards with workforce managers to rebalance schedules and approve overtime; runs an afternoon automation review in UiPath and Celonis to prioritize exception-heavy processes; closes in Asana, Slack, and PowerPoint by assigning owners, updating the executive KPI pack, and sending client-ready narrative on risks, SLA recovery, and next-day capacity
