• Listen to team members’ feedback and resolve any challenges or conflicts
• Initiate consequence management steps in the case of low-performing team members
• Delegate tasks to high potential team members to build a culture of learning and development in the team
• Suggest and lead team building activities for team motivation

This is a fully remote position. We operate 24/7 and follow a rotating roster. The expectation is that the individuals should be able to overlap with EST/PST time zones, and accommodate weekend shifts if needed in case of any emergency. However, they would have the flexibility to take leave on other days of the week.
