Your Role
We're seeking a detail-oriented and proactive Operations Associate for our Collections team.
As an Operations Associate, you will act as a vital link for customers navigating the collection process—investigating complaints, validating information, and driving swift resolutions to protect the company and support our users.

You will coordinate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure timely resolution of customer grievances and create unique experiences only Tamara can provide.
You are a driven, determined, curious team player, knowing that collective strength means we all win.
With a positive outlook, you are solution-oriented—persevering regardless of circumstances, always finding a way through no matter the challenges, and maintaining a customer-first attitude even when dealing with difficult financial conversations.
You will effectively find a way to work with everyone through empathy and respect, responding quickly with urgency to process improvements and systemic issues

- Draft professional, accurate, and compliant responses on Salesforce portal and Emails.
- Identify systemic issues within the collection flow through the collection tickets and suggest process improvements to mitigate future risks.
- **Quality & Operations Support**
- Perform daily "mundane" but critical ad-hoc tasks, including **call audits** and transcript reviews.
- Monitor chat and email interactions to ensure agents are adhering to collection guidelines and local regulations.
Your Expertise
- **Experience:** At least **1 year** of experience in a high-volume Customer Care or Collections role, specifically within **Chat or Email processes**.
- **Bilingual Proficiency:** Native or professional fluency in both **Arabic and English** is mandatory, as you will be handling legal documentation and communicating with diverse stakeholders.
