Customer Service Team Lead

This role serves as a key resource for Customer Service Representatives, providing guidance on training, case processing, technical support, and customer follow-up.

 

The Customer Service Team Lead acts as a bridge between frontline representatives and leadership by supporting daily operations, clarifying communications, assisting with escalations, and helping maintain a high level of customer service consistency.

  • Serve as the first point of contact for CSR questions related to product knowledge, troubleshooting, policies, procedures, and system usage.

  • Communicate relevant team issues, trends, or concerns to leadership in a timely manner.
