Identify risks or patterns of non‑compliance and escalate promptly.

Use QA insight, call listening, performance data, and behavioural observations to identify capability gaps.

Provide recommendations on readiness and contribute to sign‑off decisions for new starters.

Track performance trends and share insight to support continual coaching and programme improvements.

Work closely with the Onboarding Manager to ensure coaching standards, priorities, and outcomes are aligned.

Partner with L&D, QA, Sales Leaders, and Operations to ensure coaching reflects real‑world challenges and business expectations.

Support call simulations, practice exercises, and confidence‑building activities for new team members.

Ensure smooth handovers from onboarding to BAU teams, maintaining coaching continuity.
