Stakeholder Management

  • Maintain effective relationships with vendors and cross-functional teams to resolve bottlenecks.

Process Improvement

  • Support onboarding of new team members and provide ongoing peer support.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives and analytics (e.g., PO aging, SLA metrics).
