The Quality Team Leader – Criminal Verifications will lead a team of Quality Coaches/Auditors supporting US criminal background screening and public records research. The primary mandate is to deliver 100% audit coverage, ensure 100% feedback delivery and closure on every audited transaction, and drive weekly calibration sessions with Operations and fellow Quality Coaches so that court record interpretation and reportability decisions are applied consistently across the account.

• Ensure 100% audit coverage across all criminal verification transactions, researchers, court types, and jurisdictions in scope
• Ensure 100% feedback closure — every audit finding is communicated to the researcher and their Team Leader within the defined TAT, with acknowledgement captured
• Maintain audit logs, error trackers, and feedback registers with full traceability (auditor, date, jurisdiction, defect type, severity, root cause, corrective action)
• Track repeat and researcher-specific errors; drive individual improvement plans in partnership with Operations
• Monitor coverage dashboards daily and escalate any gap that threatens the 100% target

• Own and run weekly calibration sessions with Operations leadership, Quality Coaches, and Training
• Prepare calibration case sets covering felony/misdemeanor calls, disposition edge cases, identifier matching, and record reportability
• Publish agendas, capture minutes, and track action items to closure
• Measure and report inter-auditor agreement/variance; drive corrective action where auditors or Ops interpret rules differently

• Charge levels (felony, misdemeanor, infraction)

• Case statuses and dispositions (convicted, dismissed, acquitted, deferred, pending, expunged/sealed, etc.)
• Identifier matching (name, DOB, address, and other PII match logic) to prevent false positives and false negatives

• Verify correct application of client reportability rules, adjudication matrices, and jurisdiction-specific reporting restrictions
• Ensure criminal records are documented, classified, and reported accurately and within TAT

• Ensure adherence to FCRA, state reporting restrictions, ban-the-box and seven-year rules, client SOPs, and internal criminal screening guidelines

• Support internal, client, and regulatory audits with documented, evidence-backed audit trails
• Flag critical/fatal defects — misreported convictions, missed records, wrong-subject matches — for immediate escalation and containment

• Perform root cause analysis on defect trends by jurisdiction, court type, researcher, and client program; drive CAPA to closure
• Partner with Training to convert recurring defects into refresher modules, checklists, and updated SOPs
• Identify process gaps, search-logic issues, and automation opportunities that reduce error leakage
• Track effectiveness of improvement actions through pre/post accuracy movement

• Act as the quality point of contact for Criminal Operations, Training, Compliance, and Client Services
• Present quality performance, jurisdiction risk areas, and defect trends in operational and client reviews
• Manage quality escalations, disputes, and rebuttals with objective, evidence-based resolution
