• Develop and update process maps showing activities, decision points, handoffs, responsibilities, and dependencies.
• Research relevant policies, procedures, existing documentation, and other available sources. Analyze findings to identify themes, gaps, and potential causes of operational problems.
• Draft findings, improvement opportunities, and business and system requirements for senior review, distinguishing supporting evidence from assumptions and open questions.

• Research and problem‑solving skills, including distinguishing documented facts from assumptions and drawing conclusions supported by evidence.
• Clear written and verbal communication skills and the ability to work effectively with customers and team members.
• Ability to complete assigned work, incorporate feedback, and raise questions when clarification or guidance is needed.
• Practical experience using AI tools to support analysis and documentation, with the ability to evaluate outputs, recognize unsupported claims, and perform the underlying analysis with senior guidance.
