Support Resilience Team Lead
Support Resilience Team Lead
Location: Manchester Working Pattern: Office-based (requires flexibility including some weekend and Bank Holiday coverage) Required Languages: English (proficiency in French or Italian is a plus)
Join us in our mission to transform the way people shop and eat, where impact, innovation, and growth drive everything we do.
The Support Resilience team sits at the heart of our wider Rider Services Centre, working closely with Rider Support and Payments teams to provide coverage and continuity when it matters most.
Reporting into the Senior Global Operations Manager, you will lead the newly formed Support Resilience team—a cross-trained, flexible team based in our Manchester office. This team is built to provide high-quality surge support across our Insurance, Reviews, and Payments functions.
Your goal is to build and embed this team to flex into high-demand areas, reducing pressure on specialist teams while ensuring riders continue to receive best-in-class support, even during peak periods or high-volume events.
What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be joining the Support Resilience team, working at the forefront of complex and high-impact cases. This newly formed, cross-trained team acts as our flexible surge unit, scaling up to support Insurance, Reviews, and Payments functions.
Here’s what your day-to-day may look like:
- Lead and develop a high-performing team of up to 5 agents, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, ownership, and high standards.
- Own the cross-training programme across Insurance Validations, Reviews, and Payments queries, collaborating with training teams to build a highly agile squad.
- Manage real-time capacity and deployment, actively monitoring queue demand to dynamically shift team focus where business priorities and volumes are highest.
- Act as the central operational bridge between Support Resilience and other Rider Support functions, communicating capacity, flagging risks, and ensuring seamless handoffs.
- Drive performance and quality insights by monitoring contact centre metrics, executing targeted operational action plans, and escalating systemic issues back to specialist teams.
- Balance reactive surge support with strategic development, managing your workload while championing broader operational initiatives for the Rider Services Centre.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
