About the Role:

- Partner with Risk, banking partners, and internal CX teams to resolve cases and drive workflow improvements
- Strengthen queue health by identifying aging work, unassigned cases, routing issues, and process gaps
- Use AI tools to accelerate case research, surface patterns in member issues, and improve documentation quality

- 3+ years of experience in customer support, financial services operations, or banking operations, with a track record of independently owning escalated or complex cases

- Experience supporting customers across written and live channels, including email, inbound phone, outbound phone, and chat, with the ability to adapt communication style to the situation and member need
- Strong judgment in ambiguous, high-stakes, and time-sensitive scenarios, with a clear understanding of when to escalate risk and when to take ownership through resolution
- Clear and precise communication skills, with the ability to document cases accurately, build customer trust, and collaborate effectively with Risk, banking partners, and internal teams
- Proficiency with case management systems such as Salesforce or similar platforms, plus the ability to use AI thoughtfully for drafting, summarizing case history, organizing notes, and accelerating research while critically reviewing outputs for accuracy, tone, bias, empathy, and compliance
- A continuous-improvement mindset, strong follow-through, and the reliability to stay composed under pressure while identifying patterns, surfacing process gaps, and helping improve team workflows over time
- Uses AI thoughtfully to support repetitive work such as drafting responses, summarizing case histories, and organizing notes
- Reviews AI outputs critically for accuracy, tone, bias, and customer empathy before using them
- Applies AI in ways that improve speed, consistency, and quality while following privacy and compliance guardrails
