  • Collaborate within the team and other teams to consolidate different viewpoints, clarify problem statements, identify strategy, and develop high-impact solutions. 
  • Establish processes and performance management systems to improve customer experiences associated with remediation and recovery when a false positive occurs on refund and appeasements decision making. 
  • Provide project and key partner alignment on initiatives to ensure they are connected to the larger customer support and product goals; ensuring projects are properly defined and scoped with charters that include well-written problem statements and quantifiable goals and baseline data. 
  • Develop a reporting cadence on performance, trends, and projects designed to standardize, improve processes, and enable better performance of the program. 
  • Find opportunities in our processes and operational models, driving strategic projects aimed at making improvements with global impact. 
  • Serve as a critical thought partner in developing a best-in-class experience for the customer.

    • Analyzing data to make customer-focused decisions and to facilitate behavior change;

    • Experience with process design and optimization, program management, customer support strategies, financial fraud management, and quality assurance;
