ABOUT THE ROLE 

The Global Escalation Strategy & Compliance Manager is a pivotal new role responsible for protecting the consumer experience, elevating decision quality, and reducing unnecessary escalations across SharkNinja’s global support network. You’ll build and execute the strategy that keeps both task-based escalations and executive-level escalations low—and ensures every case is resolved with speed, empathy, accuracy, and trust. You will ensure BPO teams consistently follow our processes around warranty, goodwill, documentation, and case handling, while shaping the operational conditions that prevent escalations from happening in the first place. Through strong partnerships, smart frameworks, and our Hear It, Feel It, Fix It mindset, you’ll help us understand what consumers are telling us, feel the impact of those moments, and act decisively to eliminate friction at its source. 

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL DO 

• Own the global strategy for minimizing both task-based and executive-level escalations, with a long-term vision of approaching near-zero executive escalation volume. 

• Build frameworks that ensure BPO agents consistently adhere to SharkNinja standards around warranty evaluation, goodwill gestures, documentation accuracy, and case resolution. 

• Monitor compliance and identify patterns of deviation, escalating risks early and driving corrective action with BPO partners. 

• Analyze escalation drivers and partner with Operations, QA, and L&D to eliminate root causes through improved processes, training, coaching, or policy clarity. 

• Transform the escalations process into a predictable, well-governed workflow with clear SLAs and accountability. This includes working with IT and our Tech team to ensure our systems are optimized and refined to allow for seamless escalation paths and full reporting visibility of escalation activity. 

• Lead deep-dive reviews on all executive escalations, identifying systemic issues and designing strategies to prevent recurrence. 

• Develop performance reporting, dashboards, and executive narratives that highlight trends, risks, and successes in escalation reduction and compliance quality. 

• Partner cross-functionally to strengthen consumer trust by ensuring resolutions align to SharkNinja’s empathy-first approach. 

• Drive internal alignment to our Hear It, Feel It, Fix It success pillars—ensuring we listen deeply, understand emotionally, and act decisively. 

• Speak with consumers as needed to resolve complaints and to restore faith in our brand 

• Periodically visit our BPO partners to understand root cause of escalation drivers with boots on the ground. 

HERE’S WHAT YOU’LL BRING 

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, Communications, or a related field; equivalent experience welcome. 

• 5+ years of experience in escalations leadership, compliance, contact center operations, or CX performance management. 

• Experience managing or influencing BPO performance across markets or channels. 

• Strong understanding of escalation workflows, warranty compliance, case handling standards, and risk management. 

• Proven ability to design strategies that reduce escalations and improve case handling consistency. 

• Skilled in analyzing root causes, identifying systemic issues, and driving preventive action. 

• Superb communication skills—calm, clear, and confident in high-visibility or executive-sensitive scenarios.  This includes regular reports to our ELT highlighting trends and related actions. 

• A passion for empathy-driven service and process integrity that builds trust with consumers. 

• A proactive, ownership-driven mentality with urgency, curiosity, and a focus on delivering measurable outcomes. 

• An understanding of both global consumer and agent escalation behaviors and how to care for each through both regional and universal policy. 

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE 

• Executive escalations decrease dramatically and approach near zero thanks to strategic prevention, training, and clarity. 

• Task-based escalations decline significantly due to improved compliance, capability, and decision confidence across BPO teams. 

• Escalation handling becomes predictable, swift, and fully aligned to SLA expectations. 

• BPO teams consistently meet SharkNinja standards for warranty, goodwill, documentation, and case-handling quality. 

• Trend reporting provides clear visibility and drives organizational action before issues escalate. 

• Consumers feel heard, understood, and supported—reflecting our Hear It, Feel It, Fix It philosophy in every resolution. 

• The role becomes a key guardian of trust, ensuring brand-protective outcomes across global markets. 

Required:

• 3+ in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or similar), C#, XAML — and ideally additional experience with native Windows code (C++, Win32/WinRT/COM).
• Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed code (.NET) and native code.
• Proven track record of designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications, with an emphasis on reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Strong experience with accessibility APIs on Windows (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or similar), and a dedication to building accessible and inclusive software.

Preferred / Bonus:

• Experience with performance optimization for desktop apps (memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, responsiveness under load).
• Experience with localization/globalization, right-to-left UI support, internationalization, accessibility for multiple regions.

• Previous experience in shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.

• A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture — you are not just a coder, but a builder and a decision-maker.

Base salary range: £46,400 - £69,600

The Role 

We are looking for a Senior Infrastructure Manager who is, first and foremost, a people leader.

In this role, your primary responsibility is the health, performance, and career growth of your engineering team. While you must possess a solid technical background to understand the challenges your team faces, your day-to-day focus will not be hands-on technical work. Instead, you will use your experience to remove blockers, guide decision-making, and ensure your engineers have the environment they need to succeed.

You will act as the bridge between technical execution and business strategy, team budget management, defining roadmaps, and ensuring operational excellence across a complex hybrid (predominantly on-prem and some cloud) estate.

The Team You Will Lead 

You will lead the Infrastructure Solutions team within the wider Technical Operations department. Your engineers are responsible for building the environment, delivering projects as requested by Engineering and Product, and ensuring we remain available, scalable, and secure. They are not responsible for the BAU function of the platforms that is managed by another team within Technical Operations. The Infrastructure Solutions team takes a concept or idea and makes that into a reality within the boundaries and constraints of our platforms. 

You will be managing a team of engineers who individually possess experience in:

• On-Premise Linux systems, Container solutions, Debian packaging, Ansible, data streaming and queuing technologies such as Kafka or RabbitMQ
• Advanced database management knowledge (MySQL, Postgres) in replicated environments.
• Physical Network management, with an on-prem estate that is Juniper focused. 
• Cloud environments: GCP and AWS
• Platform engineer focused on building, maintaining and supporting an Internal Developer Platform (CI/CD)

The Operational Reality

It is important to be transparent about the environment you are joining. We operate at high velocity with a broad and complex technology estate. However, we are a lean team, not a giant corporation with endless resources.

• Context Switching is the Norm
• You will rarely have the luxury of focusing on a single task for weeks at a time. You will be required to shift focus multiple times a week, and sometimes multiple times a day, as business priorities evolve.
• Agility over Silos
• Because we are a lean team, we wear many hats. You must be comfortable pivoting from a strategic discussion to an operational challenge without losing momentum.
• Focus Management
• Success in this role requires the ability to maintain high standards while navigating a workload that changes dynamically. This is not a role for those who prefer a slow, singular focus; it is for those who thrive on variety, pace, and solving complex problems in real-time.

As the Senior Infrastructure Manager, You Will:

People Leadership & Talent Development

• Team Management

• Procedure & Frameworks
• Ability to define, maintain, and cascade operational procedures (SOPs) and ITIL standards.
• Prioritisation
• Shield your team from noise by effectively prioritising workloads (Changes, Problems, and Projects) and managing stakeholder expectations.

Technical Support & Oversight

• Performance Optimisation
• Measure and optimise system performance with a focus on improving reliability and time-to-market. You will drive innovation to get ahead of internal customer needs rather than just reacting to them.
• Visual Documentation
• Ensure the team produces detailed system design documentation, specifically enforcing the inclusion of visual representations to support understanding. Ability to technologically assess it as a technical editor.
• Hybrid Estate Management
• Ability to oversee the management of both On-Premise and Cloud (GCP/AWS), ensuring high availability across all environments.
• Unblocking Issues
• Act as the senior escalation point for complex technical issues. Your goal is not to fix the issue yourself, but to coordinate the right resources and provide air cover.

Technical Environment & Team Capabilities

Focusing on the technical skills that your engineers possess, it would be ideal if you had a decent working knowledge of each of the areas. Hands-on expertise in every area is not required, but the ability to hold and facilitate discussions, know when to push or hold back and when to ask poignant questions will help you effectively mentor the team and guide architectural decisions. 

For reference from above these areas are: on-prem and AWS/GCP solutions; system design from network to application level; resilient database availability strategies; automation and configuration management via Ansible, Docker and CI/CD; programming awareness in Python; Linux administration.

Your willingness to learn what you don’t know is required to succeed in this role and we will support you through that journey.

Desirable Knowledge, Skills, and Experience

The Assurance Manager is a key role in the Financial Crime Compliance team, that reports directly into the Group MLRO and will be responsible for operating the second line oversight framework. The role will be responsible for monitoring and testing our financial crime risk controls, working with our auditors to ensure that audit reviews go smoothly, and will be responsible for driving closure of open issues.

This is a hands-on role that has both a long-term, strategic focus as well as getting the day-to-day things done.

What excites you:

• Providing assurance of our financial crime risk controls through regular testing, thematic reviews, targeted deep-dive reviews, and data analysis — assessing adequacy of GoCardless’ financial crime policies, procedures and systems.
• Planning, preparing, and executing the end-to-end annual Financial Crime Compliance Assurance program.
• Drafting reports that outline findings and corresponding action plans to mitigate issues found during reviews.

• Developing cross-functional skills within the global team and demonstrating a proactive willingness to support, own, and execute tasks from start to finish.
• Supporting the wider Regulatory Compliance Assurance team as required, providing insight and assistance to ensure firm-wide adherence to evolving regulatory standards globally.

What excites us:

• Deep understanding of risks and controls. Knowledge of ML/TF, KYC/CDD, and transaction monitoring is a plus.
• 4+ years’ experience in assurance or risk management (2LoD/3LoD/Audit). This is a 2LoD oversight-based role, distinct from operational 1LoD functions such as KYC/EDD, QA/QC, or Alert Investigation.
• Comfortable with developing methodology for testing the design and operating effectiveness of controls.
• Organised and have an ability to articulate and recommend practical remediations, and track issues to closure.
• Excellent project and stakeholder management.
• Have objective verbal and writing skills to write and communicate clear and concise assurance reports which are accessible to non-financial crime experts.
• Deliver targeted presentations that succinctly report on the effectiveness of our issue management process.
• Understanding of financial crime model calibration — knowledge of fuzzy matching logic and ‘tuning’ testing including AtL and BtL testing.
