The TQM Expert will serve as a strategic consultant or internal specialist focused on enhancing customer experience (CX) across a client's mobile and fixed-line services. This role involves implementing TQM principles to identify, analyze, and resolve quality issues in customer interactions, service delivery, and operational processes. The expert will address challenges spanning owned channels (e.g., company-owned retail stores, direct websites, apps, and call centers) and non-owned channels (e.g., third-party retailers, partner networks, resellers, and affiliate platforms). The goal is to drive continuous improvement, reduce customer churn, increase process efficiency, and ensure compliance with industry standards and Client's business processes.

This position requires a blend of analytical, leadership, and technical skills to foster a quality-driven culture, leveraging data from diverse sources to optimize end-to-end customer journeys in a multi-technology environment (mobile: 4G/5G, IoT; fixed-line: broadband, fibre optics, VoIP).

Key Responsibilities

• Customer Experience Assessment and Mapping: Conduct comprehensive audits of CX touchpoints across mobile and fixed-line services. Map customer journeys from awareness to post-sale support, identifying pain points in owned (e.g., self-service portals) and non-owned channels (e.g., external e-commerce partners). Use tools like process flow diagrams and voice-of-the-customer (VoC) feedback to pinpoint inefficiencies.

Recommend process reengineering to minimize defects and enhance service quality across channels.
• Channel-Specific Optimization: Develop strategies for owned channels to ensure seamless integration (e.g., unified omnichannel experiences via API linkages). For non-owned channels, create partnership guidelines, quality assurance protocols, and performance SLAs to maintain consistent CX standards without direct control.
• Performance Monitoring and Reporting: Generate regular reports with actionable insights, using dashboards (e.g., via Tableau or Power BI) to track improvements over time.
• Compliance and Risk Management: Ensure TQM initiatives align with regulatory requirements (e.g., data privacy under GDPR/CCPA, telecom accessibility standards). Mitigate risks related to service disruptions or channel inconsistencies that could lead to legal or reputational issues.
• Collaboration and Stakeholder Management: Work with internal teams (IT, marketing, operations) and external partners to implement changes. Facilitate cross-departmental quality circles and pilot programs for new CX enhancements.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor's degree in business administration, Industrial Engineering, Quality Management, or a related field. Master's degree or certifications in TQM/Six Sigma (e.g., Black Belt), ISO Lead Auditor are highly preferred.

• Analytical and Problem-Solving: Expertise in root cause analysis (e.g., Fishbone diagrams, Pareto analysis) and statistical methods. Ability to manage big data from diverse sources to derive insights.
• Leadership and Communication: Excellent people skills to influence stakeholders at all levels. Proficient in presenting complex data in simple terms, facilitating workshops, and driving change management.
