Aindreas Kugler
@aindreaskugler
Operations leader transforming departments with SOPs, automation, and data-led decisions to boost customer satisfaction.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations leader known for transforming underperforming departments, building high-impact teams, and driving measurable improvements in efficiency, onboarding, and customer satisfaction. I lead cross-functional initiatives and turn messy workflows into scalable processes that teams can execute consistently.
Most recently as a Senior Operations Lead (remote), I led a department of 100 people across distributed teams—setting strategy tied to business KPIs and standardizing documentation standards. I introduced a new SOP for case assignment, cutting customer wait times by 95%+ and sustaining service excellence, while cross-functional role conversion enabled 24/7 coverage and reduced staffing needs by ~30%.
Earlier, as a Web Team Manager/Department Lead, I built and managed the web department from the ground up, reducing customer onboarding time from 48+ hours to under 2 hours through automation and process redesign. I also led a Zendesk-to-Salesforce transition (training other departments) and developed a Zendesk automation system using API integrations (WHOIS, DNS, WhatCMS), cutting onboarding time by 70% and reducing errors to near zero.
