Spacetalk is a proudly Australian technology company (ASX: SPA) with over 20 years of experience delivering innovative, family-focused solutions. We specialise in wearable technology, software, and mobile services designed to keep families safely connected—through purpose-built kids' smartwatches with GPS tracking, calling, school mode, emergency SOS, and more, all integrated with our app and trusted network coverage.

Our mission is to help families embrace the chaos and stay confidently connected, providing peace of mind to parents while giving kids safe freedom to explore.

About The Role

We are seeking a driven CX Operations Manager to lead the day-to-day execution and optimisation of our offshore BPO support team in Cebu. This role is critical in ensuring operational stability, high performance, quality, and compliance while delivering actionable insights from support data to drive proactive improvements.

You will enable our VP to focus on strategic initiatives (such as Intercom/AI enhancements, commercial enablement, and cross-functional alignment) by owning rigorous execution, building frontline capability, and cultivating a high-accountability culture. All operations must align with Australian regulatory standards, including children's safety, privacy, consumer law, and mobile service obligations, to deliver safe, reliable, and commercially valuable customer experiences.

This is a hands-on operational leadership role with significant impact on customer satisfaction, cost-to-serve, and support readiness for our fast-evolving product roadmap.

Key Accountabilities

• Own daily operational performance of the BPO support team, including real-time monitoring of queues, backlogs, SLAs, productivity, and service levels.
• Drive BPO performance across key metrics: agent productivity, SLA adherence, First Contact Resolution (FCR), Average Handling Time (AHT), CSAT, and NPS.
• Champion a customer-first culture; analyse feedback and verbatims to reduce repeat contacts and improve resolution quality while ensuring brand-aligned interactions.
• Partner with Product and Engineering to ensure support readiness for launches, firmware releases, and updates—including updated SOPs, training, knowledge base, capacity forecasting, and post-launch insights.
• Lead development and governance of a robust, scalable knowledge base (internal SOPs, troubleshooting flows, decision trees) to support FCR and reduce knowledge gaps.
• Identify inefficiencies and lead continuous improvement initiatives across people, process, and technology to optimise cost-to-serve without compromising quality.
• Act as primary operational interface with the BPO partner—leading reviews, ensuring contractual obligations, and supporting workforce planning.

• Excellent verbal and written English communication for cross-cultural management and stakeholder alignment.
• Experience in performance management, SLA/KPI monitoring, and building accountability frameworks.
• Comfort working across time zones with remote teams and a customer-first mindset balanced with commercial awareness.

Desirable

• Background in regulated industries or products involving children's safety, privacy, or consumer protections.
• Experience with product launch support, knowledge base development, or AI/automation in CX.
• Vendor/BPO governance and contract management experience.
• Familiarity with compliance processes (e.g., TIO, OAIC documentation).

Benefits

• Competitive salary package commensurate with experience.
• Flexible hybrid working arrangements in Sydney.
• Opportunity to shape global CX operations in a high-growth ASX-listed tech company.
• Professional development through exposure to AI transformation, enterprise analytics, and strategic CX initiatives.
