Program Manager, Quality & CSAT — Vendor Operations

Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and continuously refine the QA framework (scorecards, sampling methodology, calibration cadence, audit workflows) across all vendor sites


• Run weekly/monthly calibration sessions with vendor QA teams to ensure scoring consistency and alignment on quality standards


• Monitor QA scores, internal audit vs. vendor self-audit variance, and critical error rates; escalate systemic deviations to vendor leadership


• Conduct root cause analysis (RCA) on quality failures and drive corrective action plans (CAPs) with vendor partners through to closure

CSAT & Customer Experience

• Own end-to-end CSAT performance across vendor sites, including target setting, trend monitoring, and driver analysis (DSAT deep dives by category, language, site, and agent cohort)


• Translate CSAT/DSAT insights into actionable improvement programs — coaching frameworks, process fixes, knowledge base gaps, and policy clarifications


• Partner with Training and SME teams to close knowledge and skill gaps identified through quality and CSAT data

Vendor Performance Management

• Serve as the primary quality interface with vendor site leadership; run regular business reviews (WBR/MBR/QBR) covering QA, CSAT, and improvement plan progress


• Identify performance gaps between sites and vendors, benchmark best practices, and drive standardization across the network


• Support vendor governance mechanisms including performance scorecards, penalty/incentive frameworks tied to quality KPIs, and new site ramp quality gates


• Support quality readiness during vendor site launches, transitions, and sunsets (baseline audits, ramp certification, knowledge transfer validation)

Analytics & Reporting

• Build and maintain QA/CSAT dashboards and reporting for leadership visibility; own the narrative on quality trends, risks, and wins


• Correlate quality data with other operational metrics (AHT, recategorization, reopen rates, escalations) to surface systemic issues


• Define and track leading indicators to move quality management from reactive to predictive

Minimum Qualification(s):

• 5+ years of experience in quality assurance, customer experience, or vendor/BPO management within support operations, trust & safety, or a related domain


• Proven track record managing QA or CSAT programs across outsourced/vendor environments, ideally spanning multiple sites or regions


• Strong analytical skills — comfortable working with large datasets in Excel/Sheets; able to build driver analyses and present insights to stakeholders


• Experience running calibrations, audits, RCAs, and corrective action programs with measurable outcomes


• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills; able to influence vendor leadership without direct authority


• Willingness to travel to vendor sites (APAC and other regions) as needed

Preferred Qualification(s):

• Experience in a high-growth tech, e-commerce, or platform environment with complex, multi-language support operations


• Familiarity with QA tools and platforms (e.g., MaestroQA, Playvox, or in-house equivalents) and speech/text analytics


• SQL proficiency for self-serve data analysis


• Experience with COPC, Six Sigma, or similar quality certifications/methodologies


• Experience supporting vendor site launches, transitions, or consolidations
