• Closely collaborate with Resourcing Coordinator, ensuring adequate sharing of resources across the EDI community.
• Analyze and manage large data sets to deliver operational results.
• Build strong relationships across the EDI community with internal stakeholders, including professional staff, experts, Operations, HR/Recruiting, and Finance teams to stay informed of industry trends, labor market conditions.
• Provide hands-on technical support and assistance with administrative tasks when required.
