Role Overview

The IP Operations Team serves as a strategic firewall dedicated to preserving brand integrity and marketplace trust. We execute a dual-layered approach of proactive defense and forensic verification, including IP Monitoring to remove counterfeits and Seller Gating to vet distribution channels. Our team also manages high-stakes Appeals and IPR enforcement, conducting forensic audits of supply chain documentation to resolve disputes and mitigate legal risks.

As an IPO Shift Manager, you will be responsible for the daily execution of our Intellectual Property protection mission. Reporting to the IPO Manager, you will lead a team of agents in a fast-paced, shift-based environment. Your goal is to ensure that every ticket—whether it is a counterfeit detection, seller gating review, or IPR report—is handled with precision, speed, and in full compliance with Coupang’s standards. You are a coach, a people manager, and an operational expert.

• Shift & Resource Governance: Manage shift schedules to ensure 24/7 operational coverage, including holiday planning and emergency backup coordination. Monitor real-time ticket queues to balance workload effectively across the team.
• Quality & SLA Oversight: Ensure the team consistently meets or exceeds Service Level Agreements (SLA). Conduct primary spot checks on high-risk cases (Seller Gating and Appeals) to ensure agents are following forensic protocols.
• Escalation Handling: Act as the first point of escalation for complex cases. Support agents in making "tough calls" regarding inventory deactivation or seller rejections.
• Process Feedback Loop: Identify recurring operational bottlenecks and provide feedback to the L5 Manager and Policy teams to refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).

• Communication: Ability to translate complex instructions into clear, actionable tasks for agents.
• Analytical Skills: Proficiency in using Office Automation (OA) tools and Excel to track team metrics and generate shift reports.
• Resilience: Comfortable working in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment with the flexibility to support rotating shifts if required.

Extra Qualifications (Preferred)

• Forensic Mindset: Experience in document verification, fraud detection, or anti-money laundering (AML) is a strong plus.
• Technical Savvy: Familiarity with SQL or data visualization tools (PowerBI/Tableau) to assist in identifying team performance trends.
