What does a complaint analyst do?

The responsibilities of a complaint analyst include taking complaints and inquiries from the general public, which can be for the misconduct of attorneys, faulty medical devices, defective products, illegal or unfair actions by insurance companies, and more. In entry-level positions, you are responsible for the intake of complaints through the phone, walk-in visits, and online. Working for attorneys, you determine whether complaints should be filed, if the matter is not misconduct, and if the client should be directed to another department. In the medical device and product industry, you work closely with doctors and other industry personnel, make detailed documentation of all complaints, conduct investigations, and report issues or events regarding returned and defective products. In the insurance industry, you work to investigate complaints of unfair or unlawful conduct by insurance companies, adjusters, and producers; make referrals for administrative enforcement; or informally resolve each issue. Other duties include maintaining computer records and preparing reports as needed.
