In addition you'll hold a couple of outsource vendor partners accountable for performance; delivering business-as-usual onboarding and compliance support across every the company market.

• Change management and execution: A strong bias to action with a track record of implementing process changes, automation, and tooling that lift efficiency across distributed teams.
