• Documentation & Reporting: Maintain accurate records of client interactions, service tickets, and account updates in internal systems to ensure transparency, continuity, and audit readiness.
• Service Level Adherence & Workload Management: Prioritize and manage workload effectively, meeting client‑facing and internal Service Level expectations while exercising independent judgment.
