• Ensure Ongoing Quality: Perform regular audits of the emergency phone line and flights inbox to evaluate support quality, identify areas for improvement, and develop targeted trainings to address recurring gaps.
• Maintain Data and Training Sources: Keep our internal information tooling up to date with new information, training updates, and live support resources so advisors always have accurate, real-time guidance.
• Partner Communication: Proactively reach out to partners to flag support trends, recurring issues, or patterns that require attention.
• Webinar Coordination: Set up and manage webinar logistics, including registration instructions and advisor-facing communications.
• Fraud Management: Monitor for and respond to fraudulent activity, escalating appropriately and documenting cases for tracking and reporting.
