• Lead cross‑functional execution across Operations, Product, Technology, Risk, Legal, Compliance, and Control
• Drive clarity, prioritization, and risk‑aware decision making in complex, ambiguous environments
• Standardize and rationalize servicing processes to improve risk transparency, control ownership, and audit readiness, including form‑based and exception‑driven workflows
• Partner with Risk and Control teams to remediate structural process weaknesses, eliminate reliance on manual compensating controls, and reduce repeat issues
• Establish governance, ownership, and execution frameworks to support sustainable, well‑controlled operating models
• Prepare executive‑level materials, including current‑ vs. future‑state process assessments, operational risk themes, control considerations, and key dependencies
