Your role is to create a culture of energy, discipline, and accountability while ensuring KPIs and compliance standards are consistently exceeded.

This is not a “monitor and report” position – we’re looking for leaders who own delivery, inspire their people, and drive results daily.

  • Build a competitive, positive, and motivating team culture that balances performance with responsible gambling practices.

Operational Excellence

  • Ensure adherence to compliance, responsible gambling, and technical protocols across your function.
  • Partner with QA, Training, and Risk teams to identify gaps and implement coaching actions.
  • Track adherence, attendance, and scheduling compliance.
  • Report team-level performance, risks, and actions to Campaign Manager daily.

Client & Business Alignment

  • Translate business/client expectations into clear team behaviors and measurable outcomes.
  • Prepare insights, risks, and actions for performance reviews with senior management.
  • Proactively identify opportunities for process improvement and efficiency gains.

Required Experience & Skills

  • Minimum 2 years’ experience in a contact centre or operational leadership role (Senior Agent, Floor Coach, or Team Leader).
  • Proven track record of leading high-performing teams in BPO, financial services, banking, insurance, SaaS, or gambling sectors.
  • Strong ability to read data, spot trends, and make fast, informed decisions.
  • Excellent coaching, motivational, and communication skills.
  • Proficiency with CRM systems, back-office tools, and reporting platforms.
  • Experience in 24/7 operations, shift leadership, and compliance oversight advantageous.

Preferred / Advantageous

  • Experience leading teams in banking, insurance, financial services, SaaS, or gambling
  • Prior exposure to international campaigns (UK/Europe/US).
  • Strong understanding of compliance, risk, or responsible gambling frameworks.
  • Familiarity with CRM systems, dialers, and reporting dashboards.
  • Background in data-driven decision making (comfortable with live dashboards and KPI analysis).
  • Demonstrated success in process improvement or workflow optimization.
  • Experience working in 24/7 shift-based operations.
  • Proven ability to manage escalations and resolve complex customer or operational issues.

Personal Attributes

  • Hands-on leader who thrives on the floor and leads by example.
  • Disciplined and consistent, with a track record of delivering results against KPIs.
  • Resilient under pressure, able to make quick, informed decisions in high-stakes environments.
  • Analytical mindset – comfortable reading data, spotting trends, and translating them into action.
  • Strong communicator, with the ability to inspire confidence and clarity across teams.
  • Coaching mentality, passionate about developing people and raising performance levels.
  • Detail-orientated and compliance-driven, ensuring accuracy and adherence in all processes.
  • Energetic and motivating, able to create a positive, competitive team culture.
  • Accountable and ownership-focused, takes responsibility for outcomes without excuses.
  • Adaptable and flexible, comfortable with shift work and a fast-changing operational environment.
