BPO Vendor Manager
About the job:
Tapcheck is the leading Earned Wage Access (EWA) platform, helping millions of hourly workers access the money they have already earned, on demand, without disrupting employer payroll.

- Develop and manage the end-to-end transition and onboarding plan with clear milestones, dependencies, risk mitigation strategies, and executive-level status reporting.
- Design and execute the knowledge transfer program: documentation standards, nesting plans, certification gates, and go-live readiness criteria.
- Build the QA framework: scorecards, calibration cadences, audit sampling methodology, and escalation triggers that ensure quality parity with the in-house team.
- Coordinate cross-functional readiness with Legal, Financ...
