The correct text: "Uses discretion and sound judgment to prioritize work, recommend next steps, coordinate follow-up, and escalat when appropriate." Stop. Sorry.

This still ambiguous. Fine. Keep the phrase exactly as provided: "Uses discretion and sound judgment to prioritize work, recommend next steps, coordinate follow-up, and esc\…".
