Risk & Controls: Own the health of your processes. You will design, test, and monitor controls to ensure we are consistently meeting potential regulatory requirements and internal standards.
KPI Management: Regularly evaluate process health through data. You won't just report numbers; you'll provide the "why" behind the trends and propose mitigation plans for senior leadership.
Root Cause Analysis: When a process fails or a customer experience dips, you are the lead investigator. You'll dig into the data to find the underlying issue and ensure it doesn't happen again.
