Team Lead - Quality Assurance, Support Excellence

Quality Assurance is a vital leadership function within Customer Support, defining the operational standards for accurate, empathetic, and compliant merchant interactions. As our global footprint expands, Customer Support QA drives consistent quality across teams while establishing the strategy, vision, and operational frameworks necessary to elevate agent performance and merchant trust. Strategic AI integration is key to this transformation, moving QA from reactive audits to a continuous, AI-first model that scales across all support interactions.

This strategic leadership role directly manages a dedicated team of 2 QA Program Managers in Chicago, setting quality vision, defining success metrics, and embedding core evaluation dimensions, such as response accuracy, tone, empathy, issue resolution, and documentation into daily Support Operations.
