Responsibilities

Operational Ownership: Scoring & Reporting Delivery (35%): Drive end-to-end scoring and reporting delivery for Puerto Rico and Latin America programs—producing scoring outputs and approved reports for pencil-and-paper and digital administrations with a consistent focus on accuracy, security, and on-time delivery. Own the scoring/reporting calendar and integrated delivery plan, orchestrating milestones, dependencies, critical path, and readiness checkpoints across cross-functional partners. Lead operational risk management and issue escalation—monitor workflow health, anticipate impacts, drive mitigation plans, and communicate clear options and recommendations. Own paper-and-pencil processing readiness and operational controls, including Scantron scanning workflows, reading program maintenance, end-to-end reconciliation of counts/outputs, and secure handling/documentation to ensure confidentiality, repeatability, and audit readiness.
Digital Scoring Execution & Release Quality (25%): Own the integrity of digital scoring outputs by partnering with Technology and Research & Psychometrics to diagnose issues, drive root-cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive actions. Lead release readiness for score reporting deliverables—performing reconciliation, completeness checks, and accuracy verification so outputs meet internal standards prior to distribution. Establish and run repeatable quality checks across digital workflows to improve defect detection, reduce rework, and strengthen confidence in results.
Stakeholder Delivery & Service Management (20%): Serve as a primary operational liaison for external educational stakeholders (e.g., admissions/results-processing offices) specifically regarding score and report delivery, ensuring clear communications, secure delivery, and timely issue resolution. Enable internal stakeholders with trusted data deliverables—intake requests, define requirements, coordinate fulfillment, and document outcomes to ensure consistent, reusable reporting. Strengthen operational governance and transparency by producing the evidence trail and documentation needed for audits, billing substantiation, and stakeholder confidence in delivery outcomes.
Strategic Improvement: Streamlining, Automation, and Quality Controls (20%): Drive continuous improvement initiatives by identifying operational pain points, quantifying impact (time, risk, rework, customer experience), and developing simple business cases to prioritize low-to-moderate effort enhancements. Lead workflow standardization and transition readiness in partnership with cross-functional teams—mapping processes, clarifying roles/hand-offs, and hardening procedures to improve onboarding, troubleshooting, and future system changes. Deliver targeted automation and tooling enhancements (low-code automations, repeatable checks, lightweight QA tooling, and operational dashboards) that reduce manual effort, improve reliability, and strengthen service performance.
