  • Overseeing timesheet, self-bill, and non-labour sales processes within strict deadlines
  • Designing and documenting processes using tools such as Scribe and Vidcast
  • Driving process standardisation, compliance, and scalability
  • Partnering with internal stakeholders to support business performance and decision-making
