Job Duties

The Virginia Employment Commission (VEC) is seeking a Customer Contact Center (CCC) Quality Assurance Senior Specialist to perform advanced quality review and program evaluation for both the Unemployment Insurance (UI) and Paid Family Medical Leave (PFML) programs. This role reviews complex customer interactions, scores calls and documentation for accuracy, identifies trends and compliance issues, and summarizes findings to support quality improvement efforts.

We administer Virginia’s UI benefits program with a commitment to providing customer-centered, accessible, inclusive, and impactful services to support our shared mission: lifting up Virginia, one unemployed worker at a time. The VEC is also an integral part of a historic milestone as Virginia becomes the first state in the South to offer Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML). Our agency will be responsible for standing up and administering this new program, which will expand the vital support we provide for employees when they need it most.

We offer paid leave; a minimum of 13 paid state holidays per year; medical, dental, vision, and life insurance options; retirement plans (including 401a Cash Match and 457 Deferred Compensation Plan for classified positions); and are a federally recognized Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF) employer.

If you’re motivated by public service, continuous improvement, and meaningful work that supports opportunity for all, the VEC is a place where your contributions matter!
