• Supporting new business origination and Transition Managers by advising on administration capabilities and attending site visits to assess data quality prior to transactions.
• Ensuring clear and timely communication with a complete audit trail across all benefit and data items throughout the onboarding lifecycle.
• Contributing to continuous improvement within PRT Client Services by producing relevant management information (MI) and sharing insights.
• Ensuring customers receive tailored, understandable communications that enable fair outcomes and appropriate action.
