We’re Hiring: Outbound Operations Manager at Zendbox!

Working closely with Fulfilment, Customer Experience, Technology and other operational teams, you will remove blockers, improve processes and ensure seamless order flow through to carrier handover.

The role requires a visible, hands-on operational leader who is comfortable working at pace, using data to make decisions and driving continuous improvement as Zendbox continues to scale.

  • • Drive continuous improvement across outbound workflows, layouts, processes and ways of working to increase productivity, capacity and service quality.
  • • Identify recurring operational issues and implement sustainable root-cause solutions rather than short-term fixes.
  • • Ensure effective shift handovers, clear communication of priorities and accurate escalation of risks, constraints and service issues.
  • • Maintain high standards of health and safety, housekeeping, compliance and operational discipline across the outbound operation.
  • • Monitor team attendance, performance and conduct, applying company people processes consistently and working with HR where required.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
