Job Summary:

The Business Operations Manager II directs and coordinates the functions of the Revenue, Compliance, Specials, and Lockbox Departments, and assists in overseeing the Business License Administration Department. This is a hands-on leadership role for a self-motivated, self-directed professional who thrives in a fast-paced, multi-department environment and leads by example on the floor.

The position requires regular reporting to senior management, coordination with the Call Center, internal staff communications, and direct client engagement.

  • Manage, develop, and hold accountable administrative support staff across all assigned departments.
  • Design and deliver department training programs; independently create training materials without relying on external resources.
  • Identify workflow gaps and implement process improvements without waiting for direction — take initiative and drive solutions.

Operations & Compliance

  • Ensure accurate and timely processing of revenue payments, delinquency notices, invoicing, rate changes, and taxpayer correspondence.
  • Document all daily taxpayer interactions in account software and ensure all deadlines are met.
  • Coordinate and obtain client approval for outbound letters and applications.
  • Ensure compliance with the Alabama Taxpayer Bill of Rights and Alabama Business Tax requirements.
  • Maintain high-quality taxpayer services by responding effectively to inquiries and correspondence.

Reporting & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Develop and deliver advanced Excel-based reports, dashboards, and data analyses for senior management — building complex models independently.
  • Collaborate with Sales, IT, Client Relations, QA, and Operations to align taxpayer service functions with business objectives.
  • Review and analyze requirements to develop effective solutions; assess and manage the impact of product enhancements and changes.
  • Support IT and QA teams in development and implementation processes.
  • Develop new service opportunities while maintaining existing client relationships.
  • Perform other duties as assigned.


 Education & Experience

  • Minimum 10 years of customer service experience.
  • Proficiency in data entry (10-key); proficiency in MS Word, Excel, and Outlook.
  • Thorough knowledge of the Alabama Taxpayer Bill of Rights and Alabama Business Tax requirements preferred.

Knowledge, Skills & Abilities

  • Excel & data skills required – not negotiable
  • Advanced Excel proficiency: PivotTables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, nested IF/IFS, SUMIFS, conditional formatting, data validation, and macro-level automation.
  • Ability to independently build reports, dashboards, and analytical models from scratch — without templates or step-by-step instructions.
  • Proven ability to self-teach new Excel features, tools, and techniques as business needs evolve.
  • Competence in performing mathematical computations using spreadsheets; experience with formula auditing and error resolution.
  • Highly self-directed: identifies what needs to be done and does it without being told — takes ownership of outcomes, not just tasks.
  • Continuous learner who proactively seeks out new knowledge, stays current on industry changes, and brings solutions rather than questions.
  • Comfortable operating with autonomy in a dynamic environment where priorities shift and no two days are the same.
  • Demonstrated ability to manage staff across multiple departments simultaneously, balancing competing priorities without sacrificing quality.
  • Hands-on trainer who can step onto the floor, sit beside an employee, and teach — not just delegate or document.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills; able to adapt style across staff levels, clients, and senior leadership.
  • Skilled at motivating teams, addressing performance issues directly, and building a culture of accountability and excellence.
  • Strong attention to detail; ability to proofread correspondence and detect and correct errors.
