Escalation Management Desk & Error Intelligence - Lead the Escalation Management Desk, ensuring a rapid response mechanism for high-priority/CEO-level escalations. - This role requires your flexibility in working hours, and abililty to reach out and pacify concerned global learner. - Maintain a "Process-Wise Error Register" categorized by the root causes observed during escalations across all delivery verticals. - Maintain a Corrective Action Register and drive structural changes to ensure "Zero Repetition" of identified errors. - Draft responses and executive summaries for the CEO and key stakeholders regarding sensitive delivery matters. 4.
