Advanced Service is looking for a high-energy candidate to lead our Platinum Service Team!
The Platinum Service program was established in 2008, with the intent of providing concierge-level service to our most prominent agents. Over the past ten years, our Platinum Service program has expanded in both breadth and scope, and now services over 310 top producing agents in a wide variety of specialized service functions. This program is strategically important for the Company, as it allows our agents to focus less on service administration and more on what they do best: onboarding new and deepening existing customer relationships.
The Director leading our Platinum Service program will be charged with leading a team of three manager's and approximately 30 senior representatives in delivering best in class service to our top producing agents. Serving as a high-profile ambassador for Service, he/she will be responsible for fostering strong, productive relationships with our Platinum agents, and be expected to identify and evaluate new opportunities to support our agents based on feedback received from the field as well as through proactive outreach. In addition, the Director will be responsible for identifying and executing future strategies which will support a tiered-service model by offering other VIP clients - such as those policyholders with large investments with New York Life and/or a high net worth - a differentiated service experience, considering their unique needs and expectations.

- Partnering with our Advanced Service lead, design and execute strategies to further expand our capabilities to offer differentiated service support to our VIP agents and policyowners.
- Ability to provide innovative and creative solutions to agent inquires and complaints.
- Participate in regular personal outreach to Platinum agents.
- Evaluate and recommend enhancements to our qualifying criteria for agent participation in our Platinum program.

- Analyze and maintain operational data and performance reports.
