• Drive decision‑making agility: use data and vendor input to take timely actions (staffing changes, training interventions, knowledge base updates, process fixes).
• Coach the vendor team: guide supervisors and agents on empathy, compliance, and performance management; run calibration and QA sessions to standardize service.
• Coordinate internally: align with Operations/IT/Quality/Marketing on campaigns, incidents, releases, and policy changes affecting donors; own communication to centers.
• Manage budget and optimize cost‑to‑serve: balance service levels with productivity, automation, and self‑service adoption; propose ROI‑backed improvements.
• Ensure regulatory compliance: embed plasma‑industry requirements and data privacy/security controls in all processes and tools; maintain audit readiness.
