Role Overview

Owner for all high-impact customer issues

This role requires strong problem-solving ability, cross-functional coordination, and a deep understanding of high-stakes tax scenarios.

• Set accurate expectations on timelines and next steps.

4. Cross-Functional Coordination

• Work closely with:
• Tax Advisors (technical corrections, recomputations)
• CSRs (follow-ups, document issues)
• Wealth RMs (investment-related escalations)
• Finance (refund/compensation approvals)
• Product/Tech (bugs, portal issues)
• Business Unit Leads (L3/L4 escalations)
• Ensure timely updates and closure on all pending escalations.

Candidate Requirements

Experience

• 3-5 years of experience in Escalations, Quality Assurance, Customer Success, or Support Operations in a high-growth B2C, FinTech, SaaS, or compliance-driven environment.
