Operations Manager & Process Innovator

Aug 2022 - Jun 2023
I was the glue, the communicator, and the risk mitigator during projects with onshore and offshore teams. I supervised offshore contract employees and documented processes in a lightweight but still thorough way. For several of Credit Mountain's capabilities upgrades, I contributed heavily to the technical requirements, supervised implementation, delivered process documentation quickly, and follow up with process refinements.
