** Research
• Writing
• Advocacy
** The Customer Advocacy team is a high‑visibility, high‑impact group responsible for resolving the bank’s most sensitive and escalated customer complaints. This role is ideal for professionals who love digging into details, uncovering root causes, writing polished executive‑level communications, and advocating for better customer experiences. Rather than applying quick fixes, we focus on understanding
* why* an issue occurred – and ensuring it doesn’t happen again. Your work will be reviewed by our quality control team, senior leadership, auditors, and in some cases state and federal regulators, making accuracy, professionalism, and discretion essential.
*
* What You’ll Do:

**
* ** Investigate & Research**:
Conduct deep‑dive investigations into customer complaints received from multiple channels. Use 20+ internal systems across 85 M&T Bank business units to verify facts, analyze patterns, and determine root causes – not just surface‑level solutions. Partner with subject matter experts to understand processes, confirm compliance, and validate whether policies were followed. Identify
* why* an issue occurred, not just
* what* the issue is.
* ** Write & Communicate**:
Prepare clear, concise, and professional written responses reviewed by executive leadership and regulatory agencies. Capture research findings with precise documentation that may be audited at any time. Communicate with customers by phone to acknowledge complaints, gather additional details, or deliver verbal resolutions.
* ** Advocate for Customers & Improvement**:
Represent the customer’s perspective while aligning with policy, risk requirements, and regulatory standards. Provide insights on complaint trends that help strengthen processes and improve the bank’s overall customer experience. Maintain strict confidentiality and a high level of judgment when handling sensitive issues.
* ** Manage Workload & Quality:
** Maintain an active caseload of approximately 12–16 complaints in varying stages. Meet a 10‑day resolution target while upholding department quality standards. Incorporate Quality Assurance feedback constructively and continuously improve performance.
** What Success Looks Like:
*** Strong, defensible research supported by documentation.
* Professional writing that stands up to executive and regulatory scrutiny.
* Balanced workload management with no missed details or deadlines.
* A calm, empathetic approach to high‑risk customer situations.
