Transition Full Operational Ownership: Within 60 days, take over 100% of agent onboarding, licensing, and contracting from executive leadership, independently running all weekly compliance calls and establishing clear Service Level Agreements (SLAs).
Build a Robust Compliance System: Launch and maintain a central compliance dashboard with over 90% data accuracy, proactively tracking and remediating agent license, Continuing Education (CE), and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) statuses.
Ensure Compensation Accuracy: Implement a comprehensive audit process for all compensation tiers, document the logic for all payment structures, and collaborate with the Analytics team to track and resolve all compensation-related issues.
Optimize Systems and Workflows: Map all operational workflows, identify and eliminate bottlenecks in the SureLC-to-carrier pipeline, and deploy automations using Monday.com to improve efficiency.

To achieve the mission and deliver on the expected outcomes, you must embody a unique blend of operational expertise and core values. The following competencies are essential to your success, reflecting how you approach problems, collaborate with others, and drive results.
Data-Driven Accountability: You design, track, and improve operational performance using clear metrics such as SLA compliance, onboarding speed, and issue resolution rates.
Efficiency Driver: You are skilled at optimizing tools like SureLC and Monday.com to eliminate manual work, resolve bottlenecks, and streamline workflows.
Superior Communication: You maintain transparent documentation and SOPs, lead clear Zoom calls, and manage escalations effectively via Freshdesk and Slack.
Client-Focused Service: You understand that internal teams are also clients and build systems that prioritize their clarity, experience, and success.
Resourcefulness: You navigate complex licensing, compliance, or compensation issues by seeking creative and compliant solutions without waiting for direction.
