This role is responsible for the strategy, transformation, and operational delivery of managed contact centre services across commercial and government clients, combining strong technical credibility with executive leadership and commercial accountability.
The Opportunity
The Director will own the end-to-end strategy and lifecycle of managed Contact Centre Services, ensuring service differentiation in a highly competitive market. Leading a global team of approximately 40 specialists, this position oversees 24 x 7 operations across Australia, India, Malaysia and the Philippines, driving customer experience excellence, technical leadership, and commercial outcomes.
This role has accountability for leading specialised technical support and managed services functions that underpin large scale Contact Centre environments for both enterprise and government customers. The Director will manage complex vendor ecosystems, shape product and service strategy, and lead ongoing transformation initiatives across automation, AI, and digital innovation.
A key aspect of the role is trusted executive engagement with senior stakeholders across enterprise and government, drawing on deep domain expertise in Contact Centre technology and operations to influence outcomes and resolve complex service challenges.
Key Responsibilities
• Define and execute the strategy for managed Contact Centre Services across enterprise and government markets
• Lead global 24 x 7 operations supporting large scale Contact Centre environments and tens of thousands of contact centre agents
• Drive transformation programs including automation, AI enablement, cost optimisation and service innovation
• Act as the final authority for service capability design, product strategy approval and complex customer escalations
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with senior executives across commercial and government organisations
• Ensure compliance with relevant industry frameworks including ITIL, ISO 20000, ISO 27000 and related standards
• Manage global workforce planning, operational budgets and strategic vendor partnerships to deliver service excellence
About You
• 15 plus years’ experience within ICT or Telco enterprise service delivery and managed services environments
• A career background that began in a Contact Centre Technical Specialist or Engineer role, before progressing into Contact Centre Manager and Director level leadership positions
• Proven experience leading large, global 24 x 7 operational teams and complex multi-vendor ecosystems
• Demonstrated success delivering transformation initiatives, continuous service improvement and cost optimisation at scale
• Strong commercial acumen, including ownership of large cost centres and complex contractual obligations
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence C suite leaders and senior government executives
• A strong people leader with the capability to mentor, develop and inspire high performing global technical teams
• Deep technical understanding of Cloud Contact Centre platforms such as NICE, Genesys and Cisco, with the ability to apply this expertise strategically rather than operationally
