Bilingual Collection Agent / Consumer Resolution Specialist (Spanish/English) -

At Kompato AI, we are developing the first AI-powered, customer-centric financial services business. We're the first fully licensed AI-first debt collection agency—and we're already outperforming traditional agencies.

Working here will be a thrilling, challenging, and rewarding experience—ideal for those who have a track record of proven success and are ready to take their talents to an organization where they can do their best work and create lasting impacts. If you are driven, ambitious, and passionate about transforming financial services with AI, this is the place for you.

The Role

We are seeking a high-performing, results-driven Bilingual Collections Specialist with native Spanish language skills to join our team. You'll work with financially distressed consumers in both Spanish and English, helping them identify real solutions to regain control of their financial situation.

This isn't traditional collections. Our AI agents handle the majority of consumer interactions. You'll handle escalated cases—the ones that require human expertise, emotional intelligence, or regulatory compliance.

You'll handle:

• Spanish and English-speaking consumers who request to speak with a person
• Cases requiring human involvement by law or regulation
• Complex payment arrangements and dispute resolution

Dispute & Issue Resolution:

• Quickly and effectively resolve disputes and complaints in both languages
• Handle escalated collection cases requiring expert judgment
• Document all interactions thoroughly for compliance and quality assurance
• Follow up diligently to ensure payment commitments are met

Compliance & Regulatory Knowledge:

• Maintain expert knowledge of FDCPA, TCPA, CFPB, and state-specific collection regulations
• Ensure every interaction meets legal and compliance standards
• Stay current on regulatory updates and AI-driven engagement strategies
• Handle sensitive cases with precision—you're our compliance checkpoint

Team Collaboration & AI Improvement:

• Provide feedback to improve AI agent performance with Spanish-speaking consumers
• Share insights on cultural nuances that impact collection effectiveness
• Contribute to strategies that enhance outcomes for bilingual consumers
• Act as a role model for professionalism, integrity, and commitment to excellence
