About the job
Overview
This role isn't on the other end of a complaint line, and escalated callers are rare. Instead, you're empowered to provide a call experience that doesn't rely on a script, and you’ll own it from the first "Hello!" to problem resolution. Working on each unique call from beginning to end lets you focus on the details needed to find the right solutions and provide a superior call experience.
Each day, you will be helping people with similar values to your own to make the most of all they've been given. And your passion for serving others combined with integrity in your words and actions is essential to your success.
The calls
Building rapport with callers of diverse backgrounds is vital to accurately assess the situation and present potentially complex solutions. It requires quickly navigating multiple systems and at the same time engaging callers with clear, concise, and positive language as you gather relevant information.
We are passionate about the client experience. While Average Handle Time (AHT) is measured, we focus on quality and first-call resolution, while looking to minimize our processing time or after-call work so we can help more clients reach their desired goals.
An environment to launch your career
The calls you’ll work on daily are from individuals driven by a higher purpose and resonate with Thrivent's promise of helping people achieve financial clarity, enabling lives full of meaning and gratitude. That mentality is why escalated callers are few.
You'll step into a role with dedicated support from tenured teammates, structured and ongoing training, and regular meetings with your manager. Your professional development and career progression result from monthly coaching sessions, thought provoking and structured career advancement programs, and stretch opportunities.
It's a career with multiple paths for advancement, too. You have the opportunity to use your interest in financial services to become an expert in products and programs like annuities, health insurance, life insurance, mutual funds, and beneficiary claims unique to Thrivent.
And with a track record of individuals advancing into new support and leadership roles across the organization, this role provides a starting point for growing at Thrivent. Some highlights include:
The application process for this role consists of two parts – the application and a job skills assessment. After submitting your application, you will receive a link by email inviting you to complete the self-paced skills assessment through our partner Modern Hire.

Both parts of the application process must be completed to be considered for this role.
