Track service issues, escalations, processing errors, employee complaints, and operational trends.
Support vendor meetings, reporting reviews, and issue resolution efforts.
Identify opportunities to improve employee experience, reduce manual work, and strengthen operational controls.

Employee & Stakeholder Support

Respond to employee, manager, HR, and Payroll inquiries regarding leave and accommodation programs.
Develop employee-facing communications, guides, FAQs, and process documentation.
Provide thoughtful, customer-focused support during sensitive employee situations.
Partner effectively across People & Culture, Legal, Payroll, Benefits, and external vendors.

Qualifications
