• Support and/or create documentation of policies, workflows, and training materials to improve operational efficiency.
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements by identifying gaps and collaborating with risk and compliance teams.
• Lead initiatives to improve case handling, reduce resolution time, and enhance agent effectiveness.
• Support the development, documentation, and implementation of new policies and procedures.

Minimum Qualifications:

• Experience defining requirements and using data and metrics to draw business insights.
• Proficiency in CRM systems, case management tools, and reporting software.
• Ability to work effectively in fast-paced and evolving environment.
