• Monitor workflow queues and service levels, escalating appropriately, and contribute to trend/MIS and root-cause analysis to increase STP, reduce recurring breaks, and drive client/process improvements.
• Support change and project initiatives (including technology enhancements) that improve operational resiliency, client reporting/experience, and control effectiveness; participate in periodic client reviews and client meetings/visits as required.
