- Design and maintain process maps, decision trees, and workflow diagrams using tools such as Visio,
- Develop and track key performance indicators (KPIs) including case cycle time, automation accuracy, exception rates, compliance adherence, and cost-per-file metrics across client portfolios.
- Perform user acceptance testing (UAT) on new automations, documenting defects and coordinating resolution with the engineering team.
- Monitor deployed automations for drift, edge cases, and regulatory changes particularly updates to FDCPA, CFPB guidance, state collection statutes, SCRA requirements, and court e-filing rules and recommend adjustments.
- Build reports and dashboards that communicate automation ROI, process health, and operational efficiency to leadership and client stakeholders.
