Operations Enablement Manager

Location: Remote Canada At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most. About Ops Enablement The Operations Enablement team builds the capabilities required to deliver fast, accurate, and high-quality servicing experiences for Affirm’s customers and merchants—while identifying opportunities to eliminate the need for them to contact us in the first place. We partner across Operations, Product, Engineering, Vendor Management, Legal, and Compliance to ensure every agent is trained, equipped, and able to deliver measurable results from day one. Operating across the full servicing lifecycle, we translate new products, policies, and business requirements into scalable operational capabilities. Our work includes designing training and operational readiness strategies, standing up new servicing experiences, defining and measuring interaction quality, and ensuring agents can quickly access the information they need to resolve issues correctly. We use performance insights, customer contact drivers, quality trends, and agent feedback to identify capability gaps and their root causes. We then build the learning programs, quality frameworks, knowledge systems, processes, and tools needed to close those gaps—while helping our Product and Engineering partners address friction upstream rather than requiring agents to absorb it downstream. By owning the full journey—from operationalizing new products and policies to improving existing workflows—Operations Enablement turns complex change into consistent, compliant, and high-quality servicing at scale.
