Why ClearStar Needs You:

The BPO Manager plays a critical role in overseeing ClearStar’s global vendor relationships and outsourced operations.

• Build and maintain structured reporting on vendor performance, cost, and quality
• Partner with Operations, Compliance, and Finance to align vendor strategy and execution
• Lead recurring business reviews and performance discussions with external partners
• Support onboarding of new BPO processes, including documentation, training, and pilot oversight
• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, scalability, and cost effectiveness across vendor operations
• Drive consistency in vendor management practices and documentation

What You'll Need:

• 3–5+ years of experience managing BPO vendors or outsourced operations
• Proven experience overseeing offshore or nearshore vendor performance
• Strong knowledge of SLA frameworks, vendor governance, and performance management
• Experience using data and reporting to drive vendor accountability and decision-making

• Project management experience preferred
• A dedicated home office space that is noise- and distraction-free with access to a reliable and secure high-speed internet connection. Cable or fiber internet connections (at least 75mbps download/10mbps upload) are preferred, as satellite connections often cannot support the technologies used to perform day-to-day task.

Who You Are:

You balance relationship management with performance discipline and rely on data to drive decisions. You communicate clearly, operate with strong judgment, and are focused on building scalable, compliant, and high-performing vendor partnerships.
