About the Role
Reporting to the Assistant Manager, Registries, we are seeking a detail-oriented individual to manage complex and escalated client cases. This senior-level role involves independently investigating non-standard situations, applying legislation, and communicating clear decisions to clients and internal teams. The position also supports the resolution of complex issues such as health card applications, immigration or residency changes, and acute admission cases.
This role involves supporting general registry functions (e.g., health cards, birth/marriage/death registrations), conducting spot checks for quality assurance, and processing complex requests. The role requires sound judgement, strong communication skills, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment
What You’ll Do
Reporting to the Assistant Manager, Registries, you will:
- Handle escalated and complex/non-standard case work across all service channels—including in person, by phone, and through written correspondence—by reviewing and applying legislation, investigating intricate client circumstances, and using independent judgment to make decisions or prepare case reviews for Assistant Managers.
- Independently manage escalated client situations by gathering and clarifying information, determining appropriate responses, and clearly explaining the rationale behind decisions.
- Communicate technical information, legislative and policy requirements, and procedural steps clearly and accurately—both verbally and in writing—to registry analysts and other internal or external stakeholders.
- Perform complex tasks beyond the scope of Customer Service Representatives, such as merging and splitting Health Services Numbers (HSNs), processing complex social service nominations, and coordinating cases involving individuals without health coverage.

Manage sensitive situations involving vital statistics legislation, including adoption records, ambiguous court orders, legal name change reviews with pending charges, Power of Attorney and Health Care Proxy documentation, and complex sex designation changes.
- Assess operational challenges within the team to identify opportunities for process improvement, enhanced reporting or tracking, and potential system enhancements.
- Identify training needs, recommend the development of new standard work, and escalate cases requiring legal or management review to the appropriate authority.
- Serve as the subject matter expert on eligibility requirements for vital statistics certificates, guiding staff on when requests should be declined, identifying certificate stock issues, and supporting staff in resolving stock-related problems.
- Handle NSF (non-sufficient funds) payments and Chase chargebacks as required, ensuring appropriate follow-up and resolution.
- Manage adoption and SCI (Shared Client Index or similar program) inquiries that exceed the scope of the Data Quality Administrator.
What You’ll Bring to the Team
