The role should be dedicated to managing a call or contact centre but may need to connect with other areas of the company. Positions based in a front-line retail setting, and positions predominately involving direct client transactional interaction on a regular basis, will not be accepted for this occupation.
While generally Operations Managers are not accepted for this occupation, positions with this title within a call or contact centre may be considered, if the tasks are highly relevant.
