• Ability to understand the strategic 'why' behind tasks, allowing for independent judgment and action aligned with business priorities.
• Take ownership of assigned matters from initiation to completion, including managing dependencies and internal approvals.
• Escalate issues with analysis and proposed solutions.
• Manage deadlines effectively in accordance with the internal process and SLAs.

Documentation & Governance
