Job Description

The Site Lead owns all on-site activities and all personnel at their assigned location, serving as the single point of accountability for site operations, facilities coordination, and personnel administration. The Site Lead ensures the site is staffed, secure, and operating smoothly, and is the primary point of contact for site-level personnel matters from onboarding through roll-off. They oversee the Supervisor and SME Supervisor roles at the site, ensuring shift operations and workstream execution run effectively, while owning the administrative and personnel functions that sit above day-to-day shift management. The Site Lead reports directly to the Program Lead and is the escalation point for site-level issues that cannot be resolved by the Supervisor or SME Supervisor. The Site Lead is distinct from the Supervisor and SME Supervisor roles in scope: those roles own shift-level and workstream-level execution, while the Site Lead owns the site itself; its personnel lifecycle, facilities/access, and overall operational posture. The SME provides Site Lead coverage as needed during absences or gaps.
