Responsibilities

Own and run the support quality programme across all support channels by defining frameworks, scorecards, calibration processes, quality standards, and feedback loops. Build and improve QA processes that drive real performance improvement, not just monitoring and scoring. Partner with Support Team Leads to strengthen coaching loops so QA findings translate into practical development for agents and measurable quality gains. Coordinate training and enablement programmes that improve readiness, capability, consistency, and confidence across the support organisation. Support onboarding and ongoing learning for support teams by helping define training needs, content priorities, reinforcement plans, and quality expectations. Analyse quality trends and support performance signals to identify what is working, what is not, and where the organisation needs to invest. Surface recurring issues that go beyond support including product friction, bugs, process breakdowns, policy confusion, knowledge gaps, and customer effort drivers. Define and maintain what good looks like across channels and interaction types, evolving standards as Pleo, customer expectations, and support motions change. Build reporting and dashboards that provide the right level of visibility to frontline leaders, support management, and cross-functional stakeholders. Run calibration sessions that keep scoring consistent, improve alignment, and create shared understanding of quality expectations. Help connect QA, training, and enablement into one operating model so insights, learning, and coaching reinforce one another. Contribute to broader CX programmes tied to customer effort, service quality, readiness, consistency, and continuous improvement.
