Senior Operations Manager

Senior Operations Manager, Payroll Operations (Up to ₱95K | Hybrid | FREE AI Certification)

Cebu, Philippines | Hybrid | 8:00 PM – 5:00 AM PH Time | Monday to Friday

As Senior Operations Manager, you won't just run a team — you'll own an entire payroll service floor, setting the standard for how two complementary functions work together to deliver a seamless client experience.

You'll step in during a hands-on onsite period to build strong working relationships with your Operations Manager and Team Leaders, before transitioning into a hybrid rhythm. This is a role for someone who has already proven they can develop other managers, not just front-line staff, and who wants floor-wide ownership of results.

You'll start onsite for the first two months to build strong working relationships with your team, then move into a hybrid schedule (3 days in-office, 2 days work-from-home), with the option to move to full remote work reviewed after six months.

YOU'RE LIKELY A STRONG FIT IF YOU HAVE

• At least 3 years of payroll processing or payroll customer service experience
• At least 3 years of experience in a high-volume call center or contact center environment
• At least 5 years of direct people-management experience, including at least 2 years managing other managers or supervisors (not only individual contributors)
• Demonstrated experience owning performance across multiple teams or an entire floor/site
• Working knowledge of payroll processing, calculations, deductions, direct deposit, and reporting deadlines
• Experience with Salesforce, UJet, or a similar case-management/contact center platform
• Strong understanding of confidentiality, data security, identity verification, and fraud-prevention practices

STRONG SIGNALS

• Bachelor's degree in business, HR, accounting, or a related field
• Experience managing both client-facing and back-office operational teams across an entire floor
• Fundamental Payroll Certification (FPC) or Certified Payroll Professional (CPP)
• Exposure to payroll taxes, garnishments, banking, general ledger, quarter-end, and year-end processes
• Experience owning site-level P&L, budget, or staffing-cost accountability

RESPONSIBILITY PILLARS

Floor Leadership and Manager Development

You own the growth of the leaders who report to you.

• You coach, develop, and hold accountable the Operations Manager and Team Leaders across both service functions
• You set floor-wide expectations for service, productivity, accuracy, and schedule adherence, and cascade them down
• You build succession plans and close skill gaps among your managers, partnering with training teams as needed

Operations Performance and Quality Management

You ensure every team on the floor delivers, together.

• You monitor aggregate call and case performance, service levels, and workload distribution across all teams
• You maintain consistent quality controls for high-risk or payroll-impacting work, floor-wide
• You lead root-cause analysis and corrective action when performance or service levels slip

Process Improvement and Client Partnership

You own the relationship and the roadmap.

• You serve as the senior escalation point for client concerns your managers can't resolve
• You identify opportunities to standardize, centralize, or improve workflows across the floor
• You plan for peak-volume periods like payroll deadlines, quarter-end, and year-end across every team
