- Lead operational initiatives for high-stakes transitions, ensuring system stability and zero service disruption.
- Act as the primary technical contact for vendors (Zendesk, AWS, etc.), driving accountability, evaluating new releases, and facilitating knowledge transfer of platform updates.
- Optimize the efficiency of Chat, Email, and Phone channels, focusing on channel-shifting volume toward more efficient, personalized digital experiences.

- Proficiency in driving practical, continuous improvement (Lean or Six Sigma experience is a strong bonus).
- Deep understanding of how platform system changes impact downstream triggers and automations, specifically within a healthcare environment.
