• Drive change management at scale by crafting communications, enablement plans, and feedback loops that land new workflows, routing strategies, and tools with global teams and ensure continuous improvement.
• Leverage operational metrics, quality outcomes, CSAT/effort scores, and capacity data to identify opportunity areas, size problems, set targets, and validate whether workflow and tooling changes deliver expected results.
