Program & Process Ownership

Build and launch foundational operational programs such as Quality Assurance frameworks to drive consistency and compliance.

Establish performance benchmarks and review mechanisms for process quality and BPO adherence.

Identify opportunities for workflow improvement and standardization across teams.

Product & Engineering Partnership

Partner with Product and Engineering to test, validate, and iterate on new tools and enhancements supporting operational workflows.

Champion internal tools adoption by creating feedback loops and process documentation.

Analytics & Reporting

Monitor and analyze key operational metrics including invoice turnaround times, funding accuracy, collection success rates, and QA performance.

Generate and present insights, dashboards, and recommendations to senior leadership.

Drive continuous improvement through data-informed decision-making.
