Translate regulatory and operational requirements into structured QA frameworks, scorecards, assessment criteria, and quality measurement standards.
Review and enhance existing quality scorecards to ensure they remain aligned to changing regulatory requirements, business processes, and customer expectations.
Support the design of quality assurance approaches that are compatible with both human and AI-assisted assessment models.
Act as the Quality Assurance representative within change forums and change councils, assessing the impact of business, operational, process, and technology change on QA frameworks and scorecards.
Conduct change impact assessments, maintain framework governance documentation, and ensure all QA standards remain current, auditable, and fit for purpose.
Develop and maintain risk-based sampling methodologies that optimise quality coverage across different contact centre teams, customer journeys, and risk profiles.
Partner with Compliance, Legal, Operations, Analytics, and QA stakeholders to ensure quality frameworks remain aligned with regulatory obligations and operational requirements.
Maintain structured, audit-ready documentation, including framework repositories, obligation mappings, scorecard governance, and version control records.
What You Bring | What makes you perfect for the role?
Experience in Contact Centre Quality Assurance, Quality Frameworks, Operational Excellence, Compliance, or Quality Governance within a customer service environment.
Demonstrated experience designing, implementing, maintaining, or improving Contact Centre QA frameworks, quality standards, scorecards, or assessment methodologies.
