• Investigate exceptions using structured problem solving and root-cause analysis; develop recommendations and coordinate corrective action with the appropriate teams.
• Own assigned issues through resolution by validating data, coordinating actions, tracking progress, and confirming the underlying issue is resolved.
• Identify recurring trends and process gaps; recommend changes that reduce manual work, eliminate errors, and improve reliability and efficiency.
• Develop repeatable exception-management routines, standard work, reporting processes, and controls.
