About the role
Great customer operations need strong partnerships, clear expectations and someone to bring it all together.
As our Vendor Operations Lead, you’ll own the relationship with MYOB’s outsourced customer operations partners. You’ll lead performance, governance, risk and commercial management across a large-scale contact centre environment.
This is a senior individual contributor role. You’ll influence without direct authority, build trusted relationships and hold internal teams and external partners accountable. You’ll also help shape the future of customer operations through automation, AI and continuous improvement.
What you’ll do
- Own the performance of MYOB’s outsourced contact centre operations, keeping customer, service and commercial outcomes on track.
- Lead vendor governance, contract management and performance reviews, making sure our partners deliver what we’ve agreed.
- Coordinate workforce planning, capacity management and operational readiness across our BPO partners.
- Act as the key escalation point for vendor performance, operational risks and partnership health.
- Use data, customer feedback and root cause analysis to find issues and improve the way we work.
- Partner with Customer Operations, Product, Technology, Finance and Risk to deliver change that sticks.
- Identify ways to improve efficiency, customer experience and cost to serve through automation, AI and transformation programs.
What you’ll bring
- Experience leading vendor, BPO or outsourced contact centre operations in a complex customer service environment.
- Strong commercial judgement, including contract management, vendor governance and performance management.
- A track record of influencing partners and getting results without direct people leadership responsibility.
- Experience managing large-scale contact centre operations and service delivery performance.
- Strong analytical skills, with the ability to turn data and insights into practical improvements.
- Experience managing operational risk, escalations, compliance and business continuity requirements.
- Exposure to transformation, automation or AI-enabled customer service initiatives.
You’ll be someone who brings calm to complexity, builds trust quickly and keeps things moving. You’ll know when to look at the detail, when to step back and when to make the call.
