Full Job Description

Overview:

The Head of Complaints Intake supports the day‑to‑day operation and ongoing improvement of the escalated complaints intake process. This role blends hands‑on process work with coordination across partners to help improve consistency, quality, and efficiency of intake activities across multiple channels. The position focuses on documenting and improving intake workflows, supporting system enhancements, and ensuring complaints are accurately captured and routed in line with established procedures and regulatory requirements. The role works closely with partners across Risk, Compliance, Technology, and the business to support intake operations, adoption of updated processes, and ongoing performance monitoring. Complaint intake is an important operational function that supports regulatory compliance, accurate complaint data, and effective downstream handling in a highly regulated environment.

1) Complaint Intake Operations & Process Improvement (Initial Focus)

Support improvements to the complaint intake process by helping move intake activities from manual handling toward more consistent, rules‑based processing where appropriate.
Document and review existing intake workflows to identify inefficiencies, risks, and control gaps, and support updates that simplify intake steps and improve consistency.
Assist with the configuration, testing, and rollout of intake system enhancements, working closely with technology, data, and operations partners.
Help gather and document business requirements for intake enhancements, participate in user testing, and provide feedback to ensure solutions work as intended.
Support efforts to reduce unnecessary manual intake steps, duplicate controls, and reporting as system capabilities and processes are updated.
Help define and document basic intake rules and exception criteria to support consistent routing and handling of complaints.
Partner with Risk, Compliance, and policy owners to review intake‑related procedures and standards, ensuring updates remain compliant with regulatory requirements.

2) Operate the Intake Function (Ongoing)

Support the day‑to‑day operation of the complaint intake process, helping ensure complaints are received, reviewed, prioritized, and routed consistently to the appropriate Complaint Handling Areas.
Monitor intake documentation to help ensure complaint information is complete, accurate, and categorized appropriately to support reporting and downstream review.
Track and report on basic intake performance measures, including: Timeliness of intake processing, first‑pass accuracy, rework and exception volumes, SLA adherence
Review intake trends and performance data to identify opportunities for process improvements, system enhancements, or additional guidance.
Ensure intake activities support downstream processes such as quality review, root cause analysis, and issue tracking by maintaining clear and consistent intake records.
Work with partners in Compliance, Risk, Legal, Audit, Technology, and Customer Advocacy to support regulatory responses, issue reviews, and intake‑related process updates.
Assist with the review and handling of complex or sensitive complaints as needed, particularly during exception handling, backlog remediation, or process changes.
Follow established operational risk controls, internal procedures, and regulatory requirements, and support timely resolution of audit or compliance findings related to intake.

3) Change Support & Adoption

Support training and communication efforts related to intake process changes and system updates to help ensure processes are understood and applied consistently.
Document intake procedures, job aids, and reference materials to support consistent use of intake tools and processes across channels.
Engage upstream complaint sources (e.g., branches, contact centers, executive offices) to address recurring intake documentation or quality issues and reinforce standard intake practices.
Provide feedback from users and partners on intake challenges or usability issues to support ongoing process and system improvements.

4) Team Support & Collaboration

Support the intake team’s day‑to‑day activities by assisting with workload coordination, process questions, and documentation needs as processes evolve.
Help identify training or guidance needs related to intake quality, exception handling, or updated procedures, and escalate observations as appropriate.
