• Collaborate with Product, Engineering, and Operations to drive tooling and workflow improvements

• Translate frontline insights into clear, actionable requirements for system enhancements

• Strengthen auditability and operational defensibility across the region

• Experience in operations, program management, or process improvement roles in high-volume environments

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a systems-thinking mindset

• Experience leading cross-functional initiatives and driving measurable outcomes

• Ability to identify root causes and implement scalable, long-term solutions

• Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Experience working with KPIs such as SLA, CSAT, backlog, and escalation metrics
