@cayseyklein
I lead customer service teams, improve operations, and build practical training that lifts performance.
What I'm looking for
At Amazon, I manage customer service teams of 20–25 associates, using quality, efficiency, productivity and adherence data to coach performance, support wellbeing and help people meet targets.
I've led new-hire teams from missing KPIs to meeting or exceeding targets, supported seasonal employees toward permanent roles, and provided Team Manager-level coverage as a Reserve Lead. I also work with HR on formal performance matters, payroll accuracy and attendance processes.
I create customer-service training, SOPs, guides and practical resources that improve process understanding and close knowledge gaps. My experience spans chat and telephone support, de-escalation, stakeholder coordination and mentoring new hires.
Before Amazon, I coordinated hospitality, guest house and event operations, including bookings, stock control, client requirements, catering, invoicing and staff support. I've introduced structured stock-taking, room-inspection checklists and SOPs across multi-property operations.
