Champion automation of recurring reporting and workflows to reduce manual effort and improve decision velocity. Oversee creation and maintenance of operational SOPs, playbooks, and onboarding assets (in partnership with the Technical Writer). Lead, mentor, and develop a small multidisciplinary team (staff‑level analysts, technical writer), fostering a culture of rigor, ownership, and collaboration.
