- Talent Strategy & Capability Building: Drive talent quality through hiring input, training strategy, performance management, career development, and succession planning.
- Risk, Controls & Compliance Oversight: Ensure strong controls, audit readiness, and consistent policy/regulatory adherence; proactively manage operational risks and dependencies that impact collections performance.
