• Increase dispute win rates and reduce losses

• Achieve 95%+ adherence to SOPs and QA standards

What You’ll Do

• Analyze outcomes (won/lost/refunded) to improve performance

• Lead and manage a team of 11 agents, driving KPIs and accountability

• Deliver clear, actionable reports (daily, weekly, monthly)

• Data-driven decision making

• Continuous improvement and optimization
