• Lead daily, weekly, and monthly partner performance reviews with clear metrics, action plans, owners, timelines, and expected business impact.
• Translate operational performance trends into root‑cause insights, risk assessments, and data‑backed recommendations.
• Drive accountability with external partners by identifying performance gaps, aligning on corrective actions, and ensuring sustained follow‑through.
• Lead complex, cross‑functional initiatives that improve member and service experience, from problem definition and stakeholder alignment through execution, change management, and post‑launch measurement.
• Partner closely with Disputes Experience, Complaints, Risk, Workforce Management, Quality, Compliance, Product, Finance, Procurement, and Operations Strategy to remove blockers and improve frontline execution.
• Develop concise, executive‑ready updates that connect frontline performance, member impact, risks, tradeoffs, and recommended next steps.

• Proven ability to own partner performance across SLAs, quality, productivity, staffing adherence, operational efficiency, and member experience outcomes.
• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to use data to identify trends, diagnose root causes, assess risks, and build clear, actionable recommendations.
• Experience leading complex, cross‑functional initiatives from problem definition through execution, change management, and measurement of impact.
• Strong influence, relationship‑building, and communication skills, including the ability to drive alignment and accountability without direct authority.
• Sound business judgment, high ownership, comfort operating autonomously in ambiguity, and willingness to travel domestically and internationally approximately 25% of the time.
• Proficiency with tools such as Excel, Google Sheets, Looker, Google Slides, Jira, or similar reporting, presentation, and project‑management tools.
• Experience in Complaints, Disputes, Escalations, Social Media support, Risk, or other specialized servicing environments is highly desired.
