The role:

The Senior Manager of our Opportunities Resolution Team (ORT) is a critical leader to the team that builds, maintains, and amends SoFi's relationships with our members, potential members, and third parties. As the manager of this team, you will lead the end-to-end ORT process embedded within the Operations Complaint Management program. You will serve as a key contact for our agents handling escalated concerns, driving solutions, and leading initiatives that assist our members and enhance all aspects of SoFi. The Opportunities Resolution Manager directly supports the ORT associate managers and agents, navigating resolution with different departments within SoFi to help prevent and resolve member concerns via phone, email, and other mediums, such as our social media platform.

Throughout your day, you will oversee and provide direction, mentorship, and coaching for handling member communication, complaint resolution, multifaceted tasks, and special projects. In this role, you will be required to work quickly, independently, and creatively helping your team to analyze situations to determine the best course of action to resolve the issue they are presented with. In this role, you will enable your team's success by building relationships with cross-functional teams to enhance the overall member experience and by leading the partnership with others to run after problems together to identify process improvements.
