About the Role
We're looking for a diligent, empathetic Senior Complaints Officer to join our Operations team, focused specifically on HyperJar, our award-winning UK consumer app. This role sits at the heart of how HyperJar listens to, resolves, and learns from complaints raised by our consumer customers, making sure every customer gets a fair and timely outcome.
You'll own complaints end-to-end, support cases referred to the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), oversee our BPO partner's fraud dispute and chargeback work, and drive the analysis that helps us fix root causes and improve outcomes for HyperJar customers.
This role is dedicated to HyperJar rather than Hyperlayer's B2B banking platform or its financial institution clients.
This role works on a hybrid basis, with occasional travel into our London (Paddington) office for in-person collaboration.
It's a great opportunity for someone with strong attention to detail, sound judgement, and an interest in financial services operations to make a tangible impact on customer outcomes within a fast-growing fintech.
What You'll Do
- Own a caseload of complaints end-to-end – investigating thoroughly, communicating clearly with customers, and resolving fairly within regulatory timescales (DISP)
- Assess complaints independently, determine outcomes and redress within delegated authority, and draft clear, well-evidenced final response letters.
- Identify vulnerable customers and ensure appropriate handling throughout, escalating potential harm, risk, or systemic issues as they arise.
- Maintain accurate complaint records and produce regular MI on volumes, root causes, timeliness, and outcomes, including regulatory returns and SQL-based reporting.
- Prepare well-evidenced case files for FOS referrals and respond to caseworker requests and provisional findings within deadlines.
- Analyse complaint themes and volumes to identify emerging trends and root causes, working with product, operations, and risk teams to turn findings into remediation plans.
- Oversee the day-to-day fraud dispute and chargeback work carried out by our BPO partner, acting as escalation point and running quality assurance on their casework.
- Support audits, reviews, and information requests relating to complaints and disputes, and champion continuous improvement across the team.
