• Develop and maintain reports, dashboards, and metrics to identify trends, operational concerns, and opportunities for improvement.

• Identify opportunities to improve vetting efficiency through process improvements, automation, and enhancements to existing tools and workflows.

• Participate in requirements gathering, testing, and validation for new or enhanced vetting tools, processes, products, and verification methods.

• Develop and maintain documentation for vetting processes, exceptions, investigations, and troubleshooting procedures.

• Escalate technical or operational issues to the appropriate resources when necessary.

• Mentor and train interns and less-experienced team members.

What you’ll need:
