Responsibilities

• Translate findings into clear, concise assessments that can be relied upon by internal teams and understood by clients without unnecessary complexity.
• Manage assigned casework independently, maintain progress, and communicate when direction, clarification, or escalation is needed.
• Operate within established team workflows while applying sound judgment, asking questions when appropriate, and staying aligned with expectations.
