About the Role

As a Team Lead, you will be responsible for managing and leading a critical line of business handling safety incidents for our Australia and New Zealand customers.

Your Impact in Role:

  • Lead, coach, mentor, and motivate a team navigating sensitive cases in a fast-paced environment to deliver on operational key performance indicators (KPIs) and Service Level Agreements (SLA)
  • Employ critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and creative problem-solving skills to help employees navigate sensitive cases and high-severity safety concerns
  • Lead internal operational work streams, including analytics and reporting, quality assurance, training and development, and administration, as part of the central operations team of Sydney Centre of Excellence
  • Provide oversight for escalated requests across our safety lines of business, challenging yourself and your team to solve the most complicated and interesting problems our users face
  • Coordinate closely with global Community Operations teams, and local stakeholders to drive handling excellence and act as a local point of contact and subject matter expert
  • Be accountable for the continuous improvement of safety processes and policies, leveraging customer and team insights to drive positive and meaningful change

The Experience You'll Bring:

  • People management including developed skills in dispute resolution, training & development, and reporting
  • Experience in a high-volume, fast-paced customer facing role. Safety support experience preferred, but not essential
  • Strong communication skills, including the ability to listen effectively; to confidently and diplomatically express opinions, and voice concerns with other team members; and to present effective written communication to varied audiences
  • Strong stakeholder management skillset, with an ability to establish productive working relationships with immediate team and senior business stakeholders through trust and reliability

Working Hours:

  • PM Team: 11am - 7pm
