Process Optimization & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • SOP Development: Formulate, refine, and document SOPs for new and existing risk workflows to streamline operations without compromising quality.
  • Interdepartmental Alignment: Collaborate with Sales, Business Development, and Operations teams to clarify risk policies, align on customer-specific requirements, and promote company-wide risk awareness.
  • Workflow Automation & Reporting: Execute key reporting tasks and utilize Jira to update workflows, create templates, and implement basic process automations.
