At its core, this is a sales leadership role.

1. P&L Leadership Across Three Verticals

• Own consolidated P&L across the voice and digital sales and customer operations business, with sharp focus on scaling top line while protecting bottom line.
• Lead three P&L verticals through dedicated heads:

(a) Customer Acquisition,

(b) Servicing, Upsell & Renewal,

• Build and execute the Annual Operating Plan (AOP) across verticals — balancing topline growth, CAC, LTV, NRR, and bottom-line outcomes.
• Drive rigorous funnel and cohort discipline — from lead source quality to conversion to retention — and use it to allocate spend and effort dynamically.

2. Full Customer Lifecycle Ownership

• Own the customer lifecycle for tele-acquired customers end-to-end — acquisition, onboarding, activation, servicing, upsell, renewal, and winback.

• Maximize Customer LTV and NRR through structured upsell, cross-sell, and renewal programs.

3. Playbook & Operations Architecture

• Design and continuously refine playbooks defining target segments, calling strategies, and engagement models across verticals.
• Re-engineer workflows to improve complaint TAT, maximize First-Contact Resolution rates, and convert customer feedback into actionable improvements.

4. AI, Automation & Operational Efficiency

• Use AI, automation, and modern voice/digital tooling as levers to improve agent productivity, cost-to-serve, conversion, and quality — with measurable bottom-line impact.
• Partner with the product and tech teams to upgrade the voice and digital sales/service stack as the business scales.

5. People & Organization

• Talent Acquisition: Drive the hiring engine to attract, identify, and onboard top-tier vertical heads, floor managers, and front-line agents at scale.
• Employee Retention: Design and implement incentive structures, career progression frameworks, and cultural initiatives to minimize agent and leadership churn in a high- pressure environment.
• Build a culture of extreme accountability, daily productivity discipline, and data-backed decision-making.
• Operate effectively in a matrix organization — balancing vertical P&L heads, central functions, and cross-functional partners.

• 8+ years of post-MBA experience with a proven track record of high-growth progression.
• Proven experience leading large Inside Sales / Tele / Customer Operations teams at meaningful scale (1,000+ headcount).
• Direct experience leading customer-facing businesses across the full lifecycle — acquisition, servicing, retention, winback.
• Profitability-oriented — carried P&L ownership and delivered on unit economics, not just top line.

Preferred

• Experience leading multi-lingual, multi-regional business operations across India.
