Promptly escalate and address any high-risk independence issues.
- Team Leadership & Development: Manage and coach junior Independence Department staff, setting performance expectations and providing ongoing feedback, training, and mentorship. Conduct performance reviews and guide employees’ professional development to build a high-performing independence compliance team.
- Process Improvement & Innovation: Identify opportunities for process improvements in independence and risk management workflows.
