Contribute to vendor training and governance models, especially during transitions and ramp-up phases
Lead or participate in cross-functional initiatives that strengthen our regulatory, fraud, and legal infrastructure
Monitor operational health via case quality audits, SLA tracking, escalation accuracy, and user satisfaction metrics

You Might Thrive in This Role If You:

Are deeply familiar with regulatory frameworks such as GDPR, CCPA, DMCA, EU AI Act, DSA/OSA

Understand tiered support structures and have worked with vendor operations at scale
Bring a structured, systems-first mindset to operational governance and risk evaluation
