While a client service team lead’s daily responsibilities vary, they have several consistent core duties:

Coordinate Client Service Team

The primary responsibility of a client service team lead is managing a team of client service personnel. They may work in an office, coordinating their team throughout their shift which is currently 9am to 5pm EST.  Additionally, a client service team lead also answers team members’ questions and provides advice.  The client service team will range in size from 3 to 6 individuals. 

Provide Direct Client Support

A client service team lead responds directly to clients who need assistance. They may answer phone calls or emails from client contacts to provide quick resolution of issues and questions or may provide assistance to a team member. Client service team leads tend to provide more direct client support during the department’s busiest times, but also assist clients throughout their shift.

Review and Resolve Escalations

If a client service team member is unable to resolve a client’s question or complaint, they usually escalate the call to a client service team lead. The team lead then identifies a solution to the client’s query or directs them to another department that can provide assistance. Managing escalations requires significant customer service skills and diplomacy to ensure that the client is satisfied.  The client services team lead will evaluate annual client spend and work type to ensure that clients are best served.  The CSTL will evaluate clients that exceed the annual spending thresholds or do not meet work type mixes and work with the Eurofins-BPT Project Management group to reassign clients to permanent project managers and ensure the smooth transition of the client out of the client services group into the project management groups.

The CSTL will be required to monitor employee performance and note areas for improvement, often using an employee evaluation criteria and then meeting directly with the team member to discuss their performance. The CSTL may also make recommendations to HR departments and upper-level management if an employee is consistently not meeting expectations.  The CSTL will also be required to work with upper-level management to amend and update employee goals and expectations documents in order to support continuous improvement and development of team members. 

Support Process Improvement

They may gather data related to client contact and interactions and use this data to prepare reports and analyses of which processes are working and which can be improved.  They will consult on client service team resources, training documentation, and client-activity reporting tools for continuous improvement utilizing Lean ideology,.

They work closely with new team members to instruct them on company policies and best practices for resolving client calls. Additionally, the CSTL will monitor new team members’ activities and performance during the first few weeks of training and onboarding to determine where further training is needed.  The CSTL will also aid in individual employee development to ensure individual’s growth goals are met and foster a community of continuous learning and personal as well as professional development.
