Albert Einstein humbly noted “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer,” and that humble and persistent confidence encompasses the ethos of the new Customer Trust Manager focusing on complaints as our first order of business. In this role, you’ll be both a detective and a strategist - blending an attention to detail, ability to go deep and unwind complex problems, and a desire to not just recognize the problem but to run down ways to learn from these complaints and improve processes for the future.
As a detective - you will be responsible for doing a deep dive into the puzzles that are complaints, both that our team flags directly and those shared with us by our banking partners. Through a keen attention to detail, you’ll work to make sure we meet our obligations for reporting these to the various stakeholders.
As a strategist - you will be focused on helping to scale out our complaint management program in a way that works for the customer facing teams, your team, our partners and our customers. In addition, you’ll be responsible for surfacing trends or themes that are causing complaints and working with cross-functional teams and stakeholders to implement changes to mitigate the source of complaints.

- Implement efficient tagging and tracking systems for complaints to facilitate analysis and reporting
- Collaborate with various teams to integrate learnings, changes, or other improvements from complaints into company practices and policies
