Head of Shared Services Operations

Full-Time | Miami-based, in-office 4 days per week in Miami About the Role Extenteam provides guest communication and operational support for short-term rental property managers across 80,000+ properties, with AI-assisted workflows and human‑in‑the‑loop oversight. The Head of Shared Services Operations owns the systems, structures, and economics that make our service operation run well and scale profitably. You own whether the operational metrics are achievable, why they're moving the way they are, and what to change in the system when they aren't where they should be. The Core of the Job When an agent escalates a ticket, you don't ask "why did the agent elevate this?" - you ask "why did the system produce this escalation? What's broken upstream?" When AI misclassifies a ticket, you find the pattern and fix the prompt or the rule. When SLAs miss on a property type, you find out whether it's a knowledge gap, a routing problem, an SOP gap, an unclear listing, or a partner contract ambiguity - and you fix the actual cause. When clients give you bad data or unclear SOPs, you push back with specifics: "your listing says X, guests keep asking us Y, here's what you need to change." What You'll Own Service diagnostics. Root‑cause analysis on escalations, AI misclassifications, SLA misses, and workflow friction. Find the upstream cause, fix it, measure that it worked AI performance. Drive Autopilot AI false‑negative rate toward zero. Own prompt design, routing rules, human‑in‑loop governance Knowledge base and SOPs. Clean source of truth with named owners per partner.

Capacity planning and staffing economics for a 24/7 multi‑time‑zone operation Revenue programs.
