**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.

As the QA Team Lead for Customer Support, you will be part of our global Support Excellence organization, architect and execute an AI-first QA migration strategy from scratch, building evaluation models that directly improve core support metrics like CSAT, NPS, FCR, and TTR. 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.

- Establish Customer Support evaluation rubrics and scoring frameworks centered on accuracy, empathy, tone, clear, professional, context-appropriate communication, and issue resolution
- Translate QA insights into clear, actionable strategies that measurably improve customer outcomes such as CSAT, NPS, and FCR and help define, shape and deliver what great support looks like
- Directly manage, mentor, and empower a team of 2 QA Program Managers based in Chicago, setting goals, guiding program execution, and fostering career development
