• Lead business development reviews with audit teams and stakeholders, setting a high bar for delivering results against established goals.
• Analyze audit findings and influence stakeholders to address root cause and reduce defects.
• Leverage technology (new or existing) to scale root cause reduction, strengthen guardrails or improve operational efficiencies.
