Role Mission

We are seeking a disciplined, technical, and proactive Interim Support Manager to lead our 3-person Support team. The focus of this contract is operational continuity and performance accountability. 

You will be responsible for ensuring our agents are meeting their targets, maintaining our high standards of service (ROE), and reporting results directly to leadership.

  1. Tactical Management & Performance

  • Process Integrity: Keep internal processes clean—ensure documentation is followed, tags are accurate, and the CRM/Help Desk remains organized.
  1. Reporting & Strategy
