• Document, draft, and edit policies and procedures and seek opportunities to improve existing systems.
• Conduct a daily review of client travel, as required, cross-checking information across team, company, and client resources.
• Conduct analysis and provide recommendations to clients traveling to high-risk areas through formal written reports.
• Provide initial and ongoing emergency response support in accordance with established policies and procedures.
