      As a leader, I managed and provided direction to a highly skilled cross-functional team of 12, responsible for delivering mission-critical, time-sensitive services across customer care, analytics, compliance, and engineering departments. My role involved: Leading key client meetings, developing reports, and monitoring action steps to ensure the timely completion of projects while communicating progress and meeting deadlines. To enhance team efficiency and productivity, I implemented new communication methods and established a client liaison across all departments, resulting in process improvements and better customer satisfaction. I established a cycle of regular 1:1s and performance review meetings to identify individual development and training needs and promote a healthy team culture. Conducting a thorough analysis of the team structure, I provided recommendations for enhancing efficiency and recruited new employees with the necessary skill set to ensure the success of the team. Additionally, I prepared and delivered weekly and monthly progress reports to clients and directors, ensuring transparency and accountability. Show less
