- Cross-Functional Expertise: Serve as an SME for multiple programs or locations, and take accountability for documenting and sharing expertise across the Screening Services organization. Work with cross-functional partners to develop interpretations and solutions for complex issues.
- Project Management: Participate in cross-functional process improvement or program launch initiatives. Lead small-scale projects independently, provide support for larger projects, and continuously update stakeholders of milestones, roadblocks, and overall progression.
- Outcome Oriented: Respond quickly and accurately to escalations, conduct root cause analysis and recommendations with guidance from the manager.
- Identify gaps and areas for improvement within processes, and work with relevant stakeholders to implement scalable solutions.
