Joined the Dispute specialization team January 2023 and have distinguished myself as a leader on the team: service as point person for general CX and new dispute agent questions/exception requests/etc.; created/adjusted comms for several automations and macros; created/consulted on several Guru SOPs (Update Merchant Data Information/Merchant Sanitization, Disputes on a Terminated Employee’s Card, etc.); continuously provide ideas for improvement and track pain points
Identified an issue affecting 1,500 tickets where automation failed
I flagged this to management and the dispute team worked on 1,200 tickets requiring agent action and refund approval from Fraud
Presented at the 5/16/23 biweekly Dispute Sync the impact of merchant sanitization on disputes, which identified the problem statement for Product Spec “Reducing Fraud Submissions, Merchant Name Errors, & Type Confirmation”
This served to initiate 2 changes: 1
Have a confirmation UX for the merchant name and 2
Have a confirmation UX for dispute type, which drives down costs from fraud disputes
Developed a BPO process outline for Disputes detailing the current process, outsourcing risks, roles & responsibilities, my recommendations, questions, and potential improvements
Provided in-depth training for general onboarding, disputes in general, and provisional credit disputes for 18 individuals and one team (Fraud Ops)
Consistent top performer (100% QA, CSAT, and adherence metrics).
