A SNAPSHOT OF YOUR ROLE

This is a hands-on operational leadership role supporting a fast-paced, high-volume auction operations environment.

You'll lead daily execution across assigned workflows, with accountability for attendance, staffing, productivity, stock releases, service levels, quality, coaching, escalations, and overall team readiness.

Success is measured not only by the results your team delivers, but also by your ability to anticipate challenges, identify performance gaps, implement corrective actions, and sustain improvements.

We're looking for a leader who takes ownership, validates information before making decisions, and understands that effective leadership goes beyond reporting numbers.

Client & Stakeholder Management

• Work collaboratively with Operations leadership, Quality, Training, Workforce Management, and other support functions.

Quality, Process & Continuous Improvement

• Ensure agents consistently follow documented procedures, client requirements, and established quality standards.
• Review recurring errors, incorrect release-problem selections, documentation gaps, and process deviations.
• Identify repeat performance issues and determine whether previous coaching and corrective actions were effective.
• Partner with Quality and Training to implement targeted interventions and prevent recurring errors.
• Reinforce accurate stock documentation, release-problem tagging, callback handling, and escalation procedures.
• Identify opportunities to reduce rework, improve stock release efficiency, and strengthen process compliance.
• Support process improvements, pilot initiatives, and operational enhancements.
• Ensure lessons learned are incorporated into daily execution and sustained through regular monitoring.

You will be expected to:

• Consistently deliver productivity, service-level, quality, and attendance targets.

• Present accurate and meaningful performance insights during business reviews.
• Develop high-performing agents and future operational leaders.
• Follow through on commitments and close action items within agreed timelines.
• Build credibility with clients through consistent execution, transparency, and proactive communication.

Our leadership approach is simple:

Understand the business → Validate the data → Identify the problem → Determine the root cause → Build the action → Execute → Measure the result → Sustain the improvement.
