Summary
Leads a team handling tax notices for payroll partners, managing operations, escalations, workflows, and strategy while stepping in on complex issues. Requires 4-6+ years in operations/client service with startup experience and informal leadership skills.
About the role
Responsibilities
- Run the team's operating rhythm: stand ups, queue visibility, escalation paths, and cross-functional coordination
- Learn the work well enough to step in on coverage gaps, complex escalations, or situations where a senior hand is needed
- Help shape how the team operates: documentation, workflows, escalation paths, communication standards
- Identify patterns across the team's work and bring forward recommendations, not just observations
- Partner directly with the head of the department as a thought partner on team strategy, resourcing, and operational decisions
Requirements
- 4-6+ years in operations or client service
- Startup or high-growth company background
- A track record of informal or formal people management. You've been the person others come to, and you know how to move a team without always having formal authority
- Strong communication skills. You can translate between team-level detail and leadership-level framing, and you know which audience needs which version
- A genuine learner. You'll be getting fluent in a niche domain on the job, and you find that interesting rather than uncomfortable
