BPOVendorManager

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. As we scale, we are hiring a BPO Vendor Manager to lead the selection, onboarding, and ongoing performance management of our first outsourced support partner, and to operate the full vendor lifecycle end to end. The immediate priority is to stand up a new BPO partnership end to end: RFP, evaluation, contracting, site readiness, ramp, and steady-state governance.
