- Run end\-of\-day reconciliation jointly with the Correspondence Coordinator and resolve any variance same\-day; escalate legal files, regulatory mail, complaints, or unidentified payments immediately
- Own the inventory program for mailroom supplies, scanning consumables, postage, and bonded check stock
- Manage the day\-to\-day relationship with mailroom vendors (Quadient, USPS, FedEx, UPS, scanner service)
- Own the mailroom\-to\-TAS workflow: classification taxonomy, routing rules, and naming standards; lead UAT for any change that affects mailroom workflows; cross\-train and mentor the Correspondence Coordinator
- Maintain scanner equipment, complete required compliance training, and protect the confidentiality of every piece of policyholder information that passes through the mailroom
- 3\+ years in a financial services mailroom, document processing center, bank operations, or insurance company environment, with progression into work involving inventory, vendors, or workflow design
- Hands\-on experience operating production document scanners, with a strong eye for image quality
- Comfort owning operational inventory or supply controls in a regulated environment
- Experience as the day\-to\-day point of contact for vendors, equipment service providers, or document/print partners

- High school diploma or GED, proficiency in Microsoft Office, and ability to learn web\-based platforms
- Must pass a background check including criminal and financial screening
- Prior experience in annuity, life insurance, or retirement plan operations
- Familiarity with remote deposit capture (RDC), document management systems (DocuWare, PaperVision, Laserfiche, ImageRight), or USPS bulk mail workflows
