These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er. ## What You’ll Be Doing - Lead a team of Legal Response agents day-to-day: assign and triage incoming law enforcement requests, monitor SLA and quality performance, and step in on complex or time-sensitive cases. - Coach and develop team members, conduct regular 1:1s, and flag performance or capacity issues to your Manager. - Act as first-line escalation point for law enforcement requests and internal stakeholder queries (Legal, Compliance, Risk, Customer Service), resolving what you can and escalating what you can't with clear context. - Maintain and enforce SOPs for handling law enforcement and regulatory requests; surface process gaps or inefficiencies to your Manager with a recommended fix. - Own team-level metrics and reporting: SLA adherence, backlog aging, error rate, and volume trends — using the team's data and reporting tools directly. - Serve as subject matter expert on law enforcement request handling for your team and adjacent functions. - Maintain working knowledge of company products sufficient to communicate credibly with external stakeholders (law enforcement, legal representatives). - Support your Manager on process improvements, projects, and cross-team initiatives as needed. Day-to-Day Responsibilities - Ensuring daily operations run smoothly; escalate incidents to your Manager and relevant stakeholders in a timely manner. - Monitor SLA, backlog, and error-rate KPIs; identify trends and quality issues before they become escalations. - Conduct weekly/monthly performance reviews with team members, distinct from informal 1:1s. - Coordinate with L&D on training and re-training needs identified through performance monitoring. - Lead or contribute to process improvement projects and workshops. - Plan team shift schedules to maintain 24x7 coverage, and manage shrinkage against plan. - Participate in recruitment activities (screening, interviewing) for the team. ## What We Look For In You - A degree in law, compliance, or a related field, or equivalent experience demonstrating critical thinking. - Prior experience leading or supervising a team, comfortable holding others accountable. - Comfortable working with data: reading SLA/volume/error dashboards and using them to make day-to-day team decisions, not just reporting numbers upward. - Strong written and verbal communication; detail-oriented, especially under time pressure. - Able to work independently and as part of a team. - Comfortable working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment with changing priorities. - Strong people skills: Ability to navigate difficult situations and stay calm under pressure. - Solutions mindset: passionate to find the right solution and resolve the issue. - Excellent time management: ability to multi-task to solve issues while managing time. - Quick learner: ability to ramp up quickly and act on feedback constructively. - Willing to work on a rotational shift to support 24x7 operations. - Willing to work in Tun Razak Exchange (walking distance from MRT TRX). ## Perks & Benefits - Competitive total compensation package - L&D programs and Education subsidy for employees' growth and development - Various team building programs and company events - Wellness and meal allowances - Comprehensive healthcare schemes for employees and dependants - More that we love to tell you along the process!
