Our greatest asset is our people, and nothing is more important to us than ensuring that everyone knows that. Each of our 100+ offices has its own individual identity, and each also has its own unique rewards.
About the Role
We are seeking a proactive and people-focused Team Leader to manage a group of Inbound and Outbound Customer Service Agents supporting global clinical trial operations. The Team Leader will be responsible for overseeing day-to-day performance, ensuring compliance with processes, and driving service excellence in a 24/7 environment.
The ideal candidate is dual-skilled—capable of managing a team while also assisting with Workforce Management (WFM) tasks such as scheduling, staffing adjustments, and adherence monitoring. This balance ensures operational efficiency, proper coverage, and a seamless experience for our clients and clinical trial sites worldwide.

Monitor daily operations to ensure SLAs and KPIs (call handling, documentation accuracy, escalation timeliness) are consistently achieved.
Conduct performance reviews, provide constructive feedback, and develop individual coaching plans.
Partner with WFM to manage workforce scheduling and shift coverage, monitor real-time adherence, and assist with leave coordination, schedule adjustments, and Verint tagging.
Serve as first point of escalation for urgent or complex cases before elevating to the Operations Director.
Ensure accurate documentation and compliance with clinical trial protocols, confidentiality standards, and data privacy regulations.
Facilitate team huddles, refresher trainings, and knowledge-sharing sessions to reinforce updates and best practices.
Collaborate with global counterparts (UK, US/LatAm, PH teams) to maintain seamless handoffs and service coverage.
Prepare and present team performance reports, highlighting trends, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying process gaps, proposing solutions, and implementing best practices.
Foster a positive and motivating team culture that encourages accountability, empathy, and continuous learning.

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to remain calm under pressure.
Proficiency with MS Office, CRM systems, and call logging tools.
