Full Job Description
We9re 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 you9ll make:

A Mission Lane customer is on the phone or in the app right now, working through a question about their account. They9re not just a ticket to close. They9re 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.

You9ll thrive in this role if:
  • You9ve built a strategy without a template to follow.
  • You9ve led work that reached beyond your own team to move something company-wide.
  • You build real trust with the people on your team, whether they9re 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

LendUp was an American online direct lender. It offered payday loans, installment loans, and credit cards to consumers with low credit scores using publicly available data to assess creditworthiness. The company referred to its customers as “the emerging middle class.” LendUp also issued credit cards in partnership with Tom Steyer's Beneficial State Bank. LendUp was co-founded by in 2011 by stepbrothers Sasha Orloff and Jake Rosenberg and incubated at Y Combinator.The company positioned itself as a "socially responsible lender," and claimed to provide access to financial services for "underbanked" Americans in addition to lower cost credit and credit-building opportunities. LendUp received $325 million in equity and debt financing from PayPal, Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, Google Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Alexis Ohanian, Y Combinator and QED Investors, among others. In an article published shortly after the company's launch, Time Magazine wrote that LendUp "says it’s not like other payday lenders. Yet the fees it charges — a little over $30 to borrow $200 for two weeks — are similar to what its competitors charge." In 2016, LendUp paid $6.3 million in fines for deceptive practices and widespread violations of payday and installment loan laws. In 2016 it was again sued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for violating the Military Lending Act.
