Job Description

At Probe Group, we're powered by passion, driven by curiosity, enriched by a purpose to do it better. We work hard and love a good challenge (or multiple). With clients spanning across the Pacific, Asia and North America, we’re no stranger to thinking big and working with innovative minds to achieve great success. We are dedicated to doing things better than the day before, and our exponential growth is living proof that we have stayed true to this ethos. At Probe, expect to think differently, challenge the norm and find your purpose.

Probe CX is rapidly expanding. We are building a brand-new Telco Hardship Support division in Melbourne and are looking for multiple Team Leaders to shape this foundation.

This isn't just a "business as usual" role. You will lead a newly formed team dedicated to supporting customers in financial hardship, ensuring they receive empathetic, compliant, and effective solutions. If you are an inspiring leader who thrives on building culture from the ground up, we want to hear from you.

What you’ll do:

As a Team Leader, you own the rhythm of your team. You will balance high-level operational targets with the "human" side of hardship support:

• People Leadership: Lead, coach, and mentor a team of dedicated agents. You’ll conduct regular performance check-ins and tailored coaching to build both technical capability and emotional resilience.

• Quality & Compliance: Drive adherence to specialised hardship standards. You’ll coach to a "360-degree quality model," focusing on vulnerability-aware communication and first-call resolution.

• Operational Excellence: Manage the daily operational flow, including real-time actions (RTA) and productivity targets, ensuring the team remains agile and effective.

• Continuous Improvement: Be the "eyes and ears" on the floor. Identify trends in customer outcomes and process risks, feeding insights back to leadership to improve our service delivery.

About you

You are a hands-on, energetic leader who excels when the stakes are high. You understand that Hardship isn't just about "collections"—it’s about customer first outcomes, empathy, compliance, and problem-solving.

The Rhythm of Our Business (24/7 Operations)

We are a 24/7 contact centre, and our Team Leaders are the heartbeat of our operation around the clock. To ensure we provide seamless support for our clients, you have the opportunity to choose one of five set shift patterns to lead your team:

• 8:00am to 4:00pm x Two positions

• 10:00am to 6:00pm x One position

• 1:00pm to 9:00pm x One position

• 4:00pm to 12:00am x One position

• 12:00am to 8:00am x One position

You will be the primary leader for your team during these hours, responsible for driving performance and maintaining high engagement. We are looking for leaders who thrive in a 24/7 environment and take pride in being a consistent pillar of support for their people.

What you bring:

• Hardship/Collections Expertise: A deep understanding of hardship outcomes and the regulatory landscape (highly preferred).

• Proven Leadership: Experience leading contact centre teams with a strong focus on meeting strict compliance and regulatory standards

• Strong Coaching DNA: You don’t just give feedback; you translate it into practical, on-the-floor behavior change.

• Operational Acumen: You know your way around performance data and can turn metrics into actionable growth strategies.

• Inspiring Leadership You lead with charisma and passion, motivating your team to reach their full potential and consistently deliver their best work.

If you’re a natural leader who loves driving results, motivating teams, and delivering exceptional client outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
