Build a strong coaching culture that puts the customer at the heart of every interaction, modelling and reinforcing customer-centric behaviours through call reviews and feedback.
Drive performance through people, not just process - using 1:1s, forecasting conversations, and targeted coaching to support consistent achievement of weekly/monthly/quarterly goals.

Actively participate in recruitment and ramp planning to ensure new hires are set up to succeed.
Foster a high-performance, growth-oriented culture - setting clear expectations, giving regular feedback, and creating space for continuous learning.
