About The Position

The Quality Assurance & Advocacy Lead Analyst investigates customer escalations, analyzes operational data to spot trends, and drives corrective and preventive action across Operations to protect the reliability Airspace’s clients depend on for their most time-critical shipments. This role is a fit for someone who’s analytical and detail-driven, comfortable turning data into root-cause findings and clear documentation, and confident delivering feedback and performance reviews to Operations Leadership and Account Managers — someone who wants to build a quality-first culture, not just enforce one.

Zendesk for ticket management and escalations, especially for analysts with a Primary Sector assignment.

Familiarity with the call monitoring/recording system used to review Operations Specialist client communication.
Delivers clear feedback via ZenQMS on call quality (Twilio calls), customer complaints, coaching
Juggles live order monitoring, call reviews, open investigations, and cross-sector requests without letting slower-burning work (like corrective action follow-through) fall through the cracks.
Spots when a customer satisfaction issue points to a broader process gap and recommends policy or procedure changes company-wide.
Understands Airspace's products, services, mission, and strategic goals well enough to judge whether a recommendation actually serves the business, not just the individual ticket.
Drives corrective actions across Operations and other teams QA&A doesn't directly manage.
Comfortable being assigned to a Primary Sector while remaining flexible to jump into any sector as operational needs shift, including extended hours, evenings, and weekends.
