• Be the Bridge: You act as the escalation point for complex cases, handling them with empathy and professionalism. You also coordinate with our remote senior management and HR/IT team.
• Optimize the Journey: You maintain our SOPs and knowledge base, ensuring our processes stay lean and effective as we grow.
• Scale the Team: Partner with Talent Acquisition to interview, onboard, and train new German-speaking customer service representatives as our Lisbon hub expands.

• Language Skills: Native or fluent command of German (C2) with a strong professional command of English (C1).

• Leadership Experience: 2+ years of experience as a Team Lead or Supervisor in Customer Service, Logistics, Workforce Management, or Operations (BPO or in-house).
• Workforce Management: A firm, structured approach to attendance and performance management, you know how to enforce company policies fairly while maintaining strong team morale.
• Operational Resilience: Ability to stay calm under pressure, make fast decisions in dynamic environments and enjoy solving live dispatching puzzles without relying on rigid scripts.
