• Vendor & Partner Management: Experience overseeing external BPO vendor relationships, contract execution, and SLA performance.
• Analytical Rigor: Strong data literacy and problem‑solving skills—ability to translate complex operational metrics and customer feedback into actionable strategies.
• Bilingual Communication: Professional fluency in both English and Spanish (written and spoken) to lead teams and present strategies across leadership functions.
