- Be the Bridge: You act as the escalation point for complex cases, handling them with empathy and professionalism. You also coordinate with our remote senior management and HR/IT team.
- Optimize the Journey: You maintain our SOPs and knowledge base, ensuring our processes stay lean and effective as we grow.
- Scale the Team: Partner with Talent Acquisition to interview, onboard, and train new German-speaking customer service representatives as our Lisbon hub expands.

-
Workforce Management: A firm, structured approach to attendance and performance management, you know how to enforce company policies fairly while maintaining strong team morale.
-
Operational Resilience: Ability to stay calm under pressure, make fast decisions in dynamic environments and enjoy solving live dispatching puzzles without relying on rigid scripts.
