Review chart audit, engagement, and workflow metrics to identify operational and system issues, and track the impact of process changes over time. Provide accurate operational data inputs to inform long-term workforce planning, capacity forecasting, and team alignment decisions. Product Integration & Change Leadership Partner with Product and Technology to identify and prioritize AI, automation, and data visualization tools that directly reduce coach administrative burdens like chart auditing and documentation.

Process Improvement & Workflow Design: Proven ability to analyze complex operations, identify inefficiencies, and design scalable workflows that improve team execution, efficiency, and quality. Training & Capability Development: Experience translating operational frameworks, playbooks, guidelines, and rubrics into effective training materials, onboarding programs, learning pathways, and development resources.
