Collaborate with Servicing Partners (People, Finance, Analytics, Internal Comms) on calendars, comms cascades, planning cycles and key events.

Process improvement

Streamline workflows, templates and approvals to increase efficiency and consistency; evolve the exec operating rhythm as the team scales.

Keep files, records and trackers organised; use basic data analysis in Google Sheets to support planning and reporting.

Lead and coach a small group of EAs, share best practices, set standards and drive consistency across Servicing Operations.
