The T&S Network estimates this role to be P3, Senior. The typical base salary for that level in Scaled Ops & Moderation is $140k to $200k at an employer this size in Seattle. Key skills at this level: forecasts volume and staffs against it with real error bars, owns service levels and can explain a miss without blaming the queue, and governs a vendor relationship on quality, not only on cost per action.
Why this level
Estimated from the posting rather than stated by the employer: asks for 4+ years · posts $116k to $166k base at a company over 5,000 in Seattle · the title reads as P2 · sets strategy beyond one team.
