Overview

The RTA Team Lead owns live operations across multiple Lines of Business, ensuring queue stability, SLA protection, and strong operational execution in a 24/7 environment. This is a high-ownership leadership role for someone who thrives under pressure, operates with strong judgment and can lead both people and processes at a high level.

The ideal candidate combines operational thinking, technical proficiency, and strong communication skills to drive clarity, accountability, and continuous improvement across the organization.

What You’ll Do

• Own the end-to-end daily operations of the RTA function across all Lines of Business, ensuring queue stability and SLA adherence

• Act as the primary source of truth for live operations, driving root cause analysis and operational decision-making during critical incidents

• Lead and develop a team of RTAs by establishing high performance standards, coaching toward autonomy, and creating a culture of operational ownership

• Build scalable queue management frameworks and evolve operational playbooks to reduce dependency on tribal knowledge

• Continuously evaluate and improve existing SOPs, workflows, and escalation processes using first-principles thinking

• Partner cross-functionally with Workforce Management, Operations, Vendor Management, and Leadership teams to provide operational clarity and drive alignment

• Maintain strong technical proficiency in Google Sheets and operational tooling to build models, automate workflows, and support forensic investigations

• Provide concise, executive-level operational narratives that communicate business impact, operational risks, and recommended actions clearly

Who We’re Looking For

• Proven experience leading Real Time Analysts, Workforce Management teams, or live operations functions in high-volume environments

• Strong operational judgment with the ability to remain calm and decisive during high-pressure incidents or service disruptions

• Exceptional analytical and investigative skills with deep proficiency in Google Sheets, queue analysis, and operational modeling

• A high-accountability operator who takes ownership of outcomes and proactively mitigates operational risks before escalation

• Strong written communication skills with the ability to synthesize complex operational issues into concise executive-level narratives

• Experience building or improving operational frameworks, SOPs, and scalable team processes from the ground up

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, highly ambiguous, and continuously evolving environment

• Passion for coaching and developing highly autonomous, “agentic” operators who can independently identify opportunities and solve problems
