Erin Wood
@erinwood
Data-driven operations leader who coaches high-performing teams to meet SLAs, improve quality, and scale safely in fast-paced environments.
What I'm looking for
I lead customer-facing operations with a data-driven, coaching-first approach, combining performance management, QA rigor, and process optimization to help teams exceed operational KPIs in fast-paced tech and startup environments. In remote and high-growth settings, I’ve managed and upskilled frontline teams while owning hiring, onboarding, and continuous performance improvement.
Across content moderation, customer success, and trust & safety work, I’ve analyzed support trends and metrics to reduce resolution time, strengthen SLA adherence, and improve quality outcomes—while partnering cross-functionally with Policy, Engineering, and technical stakeholders to refine workflows and resolve tooling friction. I also use AI-assisted tools like ChatGPT to automate enablement and elevate execution through scalable documentation, calibration sessions, and clear SOPs.
