Who You Are:
A Proven Leader: You bring 3+ years of experience in collections or call center leadership, with at least 1–2 years of direct people management experience. You know how to move the needle on a team level.
A Hands-on Coach: You don't lead from a closed office. You are at your best when you’re "in the work," providing live support and helping your team navigate complex conversations.
