The Dealer Resolutions role is on the front line when dealing with high-risk complaints from dealers that require cross-department collaboration. You will be right there resolving complex dealer issues, providing exceptional support, and helping us improve what we do by collaborating across different departments to prevent potential reputational risk. A Dealer Resolutions Specialist will own complex cases from start to finish, handle formal complaints, and provide dedicated support to the dealer throughout the cases' journey, including managing business-critical issues escalated to the C-suite.
What you’ll be doing:
- High-Stakes Escalation Management: Own and resolve the most complex, sensitive, and high-emotion dealer escalations from intake to final resolution, serving as the definitive point of contact for aggrieved parties.
- Reputation Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify, assess, and manage potential brand and legal risks embedded in complaints, neutralizing negative exposure across social media, review platforms, and regulatory bodies.
- Incident Response Coordination: Lead the immediate response to critical service incidents or systemic failures, orchestrating cross-functional communication to ensure impacted customers are managed with transparency, speed, and care.
- Strategic Goodwill Administration: Exercise autonomous judgment in awarding Gestures of Goodwill (GoGs), financial compensation, or fee waivers, balancing customer retention with commercial viability and internal policy frameworks.
- Root-Cause Analysis & Continuous Improvement: Transform negative feedback into operational intelligence by analyzing complaint data and trend patterns, partnering with leadership to implement process changes that eliminate future friction points.
- Compliance & Audit Readiness: Ensure all final responses and case documentation strictly adhere to regulatory guidelines, industry compliance standards, and tight internal Service Level Agreements (SLAs).

- Ability to manage multiple tasks and adapt quickly in our fast-paced environment
- Comfortable liaising and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders; from Specialist to C-Suite level
