• Lead change management efforts, including communication, training, and process adoption across geographically distributed teams
• Support market-facing activities by strengthening client relationships, enhancing the client experience through improved delivery models, and helping expand existing accounts
• Provide thought leadership on compliance modernization, technology enablement, and operational best practices
• Mentor and influence teams through transformation initiatives, fostering a culture of continuous improvement

• Strong change management and leadership skills, with the ability to guide teams through transformation
