Senior Director, Servicing Operations

Mission Lane is combining the power of data, technology, and exceptional service to pave a clear way forward for millions of people on the path to financial success. By attracting top talent and leveraging cutting-edge technology, we’re enabling people to unlock real financial progress. Sound like a mission you can get behind?

We're looking for a Senior Director of Servicing Operations to own the strategy and execution of customer servicing and back office fulfillment, reporting to the SVP of Operations.

The impact you'll make:

A Mission Lane customer is on the phone or in the app right now, working through a question about their account. They're not just a ticket to close. They're a person with a goal, and how this moment goes is how they know Mission Lane is on their side.

The Senior Director of Servicing Operations makes sure these moments land right; building the strategy, teams, and standards that turn everyday service into real progress for the people we serve.

As Senior Director, Servicing Operations, you will:

• Set the 3-year vision and strategy for both customer-facing servicing and back office fulfillment, building the roadmap largely on your own.
• Own the day-to-day: keeping resolution speed, quality scores, cost and efficiency, and associate engagement on target, and stepping in with a remediation plan the moment any of them slip.
• Build a team, in-house and through our contact center partners, that people want to stay and grow in.
• Become the person the SVP and other senior leaders call when they need a read on where servicing should go next.

You'll thrive in this role if:

• You've built a strategy without a template to follow.
• You've led work that reached beyond your own team to move something company-wide.
• You build real trust with the people on your team, whether they're on your in-house remote team or work for an outsourcing partner.

Minimum Qualifications:

• 10+ years leading contact center or back office servicing operations, including managing in-house teams and holding third-party or outsourced sites accountable to service levels
• 10+ years of people management experience, including managing other managers and developing them to grow their own teams
• Experience in a regulated financial services or fintech environment, where you understand how compliance and complaint-handling requirements shape service operations
• A track record of building strategy for a service or operations function
• A track record of hitting operational targets and fixing problems fast when something slips
• Strong influence and communication skills, built from getting buy-in with frontline agents to executives and everyone in between
• Ability to travel for in-person team collaboration (~4-6 times per year) and to visit contact center sites as needed

Compensation:

 Annual full-time starting base salary range: $167,000 - $209,000

This role is eligible for additional compensation in the forms of participation in our annual incentive and equity programs.

Pay is based on factors such as work experience, education, certification(s), training, skills, and competencies related to the role. Mission Lane also offers a comprehensive benefits plan, which includes paid time off, 401(k) match, a monthly wellness stipend, health/dental/vision insurance options, disability coverage, paid parental leave, flexible spending account (for childcare and healthcare), life insurance, and a remote-first work environment.

About Mission Lane:

Founded in December 2018, Mission Lane is a purpose-driven fintech company based in the U.S., with headquarters in Richmond, Virginia. 

It all started with a realization:  nearly fifty percent of the adult population in the U.S. doesn’t have access to a clear line of credit. Most traditional credit card companies either overlook or overcharge this group because they have less-than-perfect credit scores or no scores at all. We decided this just wouldn’t do.

In partnership with our sponsor banks, we offer credit cards under the Mission Lane brand name, with better, clearer terms, and a more refined customer experience than the alternatives available to people working hard to improve their credit. To date, over four million consumers have chosen Mission Lane, earning high customer ratings on Credit Karma for its market segment and industry leading Net Promoter scores. 

Mission Lane has cumulatively raised over $600 million of equity from leading investors, including Invus Opportunities, QED Investors, LL Funds, funds affiliated with Oaktree Capital Management, and other leading investors.

Our commitment to a workplace built on respect and dignity is guided by our core value of Unity. We believe that everyone plays a vital role in our shared purpose, and we actively cultivate an environment where all individuals have the opportunity to do their best work. By fostering a culture of empathy and collaboration, we create a strong sense of belonging and support for every team member.

Application Integrity:
