About the role
We are looking for a capable and practical Shift Lead to provide on-site operational supervision within our Wellington center. This is a hands-on supervisory role focused on coordinating the shift, monitoring service delivery, responding to operational issues, and providing agents with immediate support when they need it.

Providing agents with immediate operational support, including answering process queries and troubleshooting basic technology issues.
Coordinating operational escalations and working with internal teams or external stakeholders to investigate and resolve faults and service issues.
Maintaining operational standards and shift readiness by checking that systems, processes, information, and staffing arrangements are ready for effective service delivery.
Completing clear shift handovers and ensuring unresolved issues, risks, and required follow-up are accurately recorded and escalated.
Identifying practical opportunities to improve processes and service delivery, and passing recommendations to the Team Leader or appropriate teams.
What you'll bring
Experience providing operational support, shift supervision, or coordinating work in a busy service environment.
The confidence to take ownership of operational issues, make sound decisions within agreed procedures, and give clear guidance when required.
Sound judgement and the ability to remain calm, organised, and empathetic when situations are stressful or uncertain.
An analytical approach, including the ability to interpret operational information, ask the right questions, and solve problems.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including clear handovers
The ability to work adaptably, collaboratively, and effectively across different teams and priorities.
Confidence using a range of technology, systems, and applications, with the ability to troubleshoot or coordinate support when issues arise.
A practical focus on maintaining standards and improving the way work is delivered.
Strong people skills, with the ability to build positive working relationships, adapt your communication style, and provide calm, respectful support while maintaining clear expectations.
Just as importantly, you will have
Resilience and optimism
A commitment to an inclusive and diverse workplace.
A strong sense of responsibility and the willingness to be a visible, approachable source of operational support during your shift.
A desire to make a difference by providing real help to real people throughout the motu.
Why choose us
