Objective of the Role

We are looking for an Assistant Manager to lead our Webinar Operations function. The right candidate will bring a structured approach to operations, a strong focus on process improvement and performance management, and the ability to coordinate effectively across teams to ensure seamless delivery. This is a role for someone who takes ownership, works systematically, and continuously looks for ways to make the function more efficient and reliable.

Responsibilities:

Operations & Process Management

• Design, document, and continuously improve end‑to‑end processes for webinar delivery — from session scheduling through to post‑session execution
• Write detailed workflows and SOPs that bring consistency, clarity, and accountability to daily operations
• Identify gaps in existing processes and take proactive measures to address them before they create learner impact
• Explore and implement automation opportunities to reduce manual dependency and improve efficiency
• Coordinate proactively with Academic Delivery, Program Support, Tech and LMS teams on day‑to‑day operational needs and improvement initiatives, ensuring alignment and timely resolution of cross‑functional dependencies
• Serve as the primary point of contact for any questions or escalations related to webinar operations, managing them with a structured approach and transparent communication throughout

Performance & Quality

• Define and track KPIs for the team — including session start compliance, SLA adherence, error rates, and learner satisfaction scores
• Track performance and share structured, actionable feedback that drives measurable improvement
• Perform root cause analysis on recurring issues and implement preventive fixes — not just one‑time corrections
• Identify risks early, communicate them clearly to relevant stakeholders, and act on them before they escape
• Prepare and present operational performance reports and insights to internal stakeholders on a regular basis
• Lead a geographically distributed team of associates spread across multiple locations, ensuring alignment on processes, standards, and priorities regardless of where team members are based
• Manage a team responsible for session setup, live monitoring, post‑session tasks, and learner support across all business units.
• Set clear performance expectations, conduct structured reviews, and manage underperformance with a documented and fair approach
• Coach team members consistently, build individual capability, and foster a culture where the team takes ownership of its own quality
• Plan rosters, manage capacity and shrinkage, and ensure adequate coverage across time zones including US and LATAM hours

Key Skills and Experience:

• 5–8 years of experience in operations, service delivery, or program management, with a strong focus on process building and performance management
• Minimum 2 years of experience managing a team — ideally across geographies or multiple locations — with defined KPIs and accountability structures
• Demonstrated ability to design workflows, write SOPs, and implement process improvements that deliver measurable outcomes
• Experience with automation tools or initiatives that have reduced manual effort or improved operational efficiency
• Strong analytical mindset — comfortable using Excel, dashboards, and reporting tools to track performance and support decision‑making
• Strong written and verbal communication in English — able to engage confidently with stakeholders, present recommendations clearly, and manage difficult conversations professionally
• Proactive approach to problem‑solving — identifies risks early, acts on them, and takes ownership of outcomes
• Familiarity with tools such as Zoom, LMS platforms, and ticketing systems like Zendesk is an advantage
• Ed‑tech or professional education background is preferred but not mandated.
• Open to working in shifts covering US and LATAM time zones
