• Must be amenable to working on a U.S. Pacific Time schedule (see Working Schedule section)

Our clients are based in the United States. Our standard operating window is 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Pacific Standard Time (PST) / Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). In practice, the majority of our team currently works a shift of 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM Pacific Time, allowing for focused mornings before live client hours begin. Working schedule is ultimately subject to client discretion. Some clients may require a full night shift alignment (Philippine Time). We want every candidate to enter with full awareness of this expectation.

This role is currently being built into our talent pool, with expected hiring projected for late May to June 2026, subject to business needs and client alignment. Applying now means you are ahead of the curve — we will be in touch as positions open.
