Role Overview 

This role is an execution-first role focused on delivering outcomes as a foundational piece on a growing digital transformation team.

• Identify root causes of issues and drive standardization before automation 

• Develop and support end-to-end process maps (AS-IS / TO-BE) 

• Identify repetitive manual tasks and contribute to automation opportunities 

• Ensure solutions focus on simplification and sustainability — not just digitization 

-Data-Informed Execution 

• Use data (Power BI, Excel, dashboards) to track progress and measure value 

• Support cost-benefit analysis and prioritization decisions 

• Evaluate tradeoffs based on business value, effort, and impact 

-Operate Effectively in Ambiguity 

• Work with incomplete or evolving requirements 

• Propose solutions and move work forward proactively
