Wellist is seeking a Director of Directory Call Center Operations who will be responsible for standing up and owning the operations with an outsourced, outbound on-shore call center partner. The Director will be involved in all phases of operations from standing up the team to ongoing operations.  This includes people onboarding, training and process improvement in order to establish high quality content, KPIs and metrics; as well as, develop programs that foster partner engagement, service, knowledge, skills, morale and culture.

The role is of crucial importance to Wellist and will initially be responsible for making more than 30,000 calls per month to external vendors, with the expectation that this call volume will grow quickly in the coming 12 to 24 months.  

The Director will report into Wellist’s Head of Directory Operations, a member of Wellist’s Operating Committee and plays a major role in sustaining the current business as well as supporting new client launches as the company continues to grow.  

The call center is the key contributor to ensuring that Wellist users (i.e. Wellist’s customers) have access to the highest quality services – every call the call center makes could have a direct impact on a patient or employee.  

What you will do

  • Stand up operations from zero to one with an identified call center partner that has onshore operations based in the USA.
  • Build and direct all aspects of call center operations in a manner that meets operational and client goals while maximizing staff productivity and well-being
  • Provide onsite, constant oversight to ensure that the vendor is executing services as outlined in the vendor contracts, and promptly addressing any gaps or inefficiencies
  • Ensure Wellist standard operating procedures, call scripts, policies, processes and workflows are executed consistently 
  • Create metrics and evaluate vendor performance guarantees 
  • Support client launches and manage complex client engagements by structuring and driving launches based on hypotheses, analysis of data and call metrics
  • Prepare weekly report outs that communicate the call center operations KPIs to Wellist’s operating committee and, as needed, any recommendations for improvement 
  • Advise Wellist’s Operating Committee as to how to grow call center operations as the business scales; whether that be with a partner or internally.

Location requirements:

  • Located in Nashville, TN
  • Able to be on-site, business hours, Mon-to-Fri and as needed by business 

Minimum prior qualifications:

  • Experience standing up call center operations with outsourced, on-shore call center partner
  • Experience monitoring and continuously improving operations as team scales from 15 to 50+ in next 12-24 months
  • Experience supporting hiring agents, developing onboarding and training material
  • Experience evaluating and continuously improving the call process and tooling to optimize quality and efficiency
  • Experience building, testing and refining call scripts to identify ‘max potential’ for calling team based on measured improvements
  • Experience establishing and maintaining reporting to track metrics and KPIs
  • Demonstrated ability to maintain call center performance over time 
  • Demonstrated ability to effectively operate in a quickly evolving environment
  • Post-standing up call center, develop business plan to optimize quality and cost
  • Ideally 8+ years of experience managing high volume call center operations

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
