Build and maintain structured knowledge maps covering key stakeholders, processes, and contacts across specific applications and business lines, creating reusable knowledge bases that drive consistency and efficiency across compliance and administrative workflows.

Proven ability to navigate large, complex enterprise environments with formal risk and control processes, managing multiple competing priorities and adjusting quickly to shifting demands.
Fluency in Jira or an equivalent agile tracking tool, used to coordinate, track, and report on tasks across multiple teams and workstreams.
