• Identify process gaps, delays, and repeated errors; perform root-cause analysis and implement fixes.
• Create and maintain SOPs, checklists, and templates; ensure teams follow them on the ground.
• Build and track basic MIS and dashboards (TATs, drop-offs, approvals, exceptions, customer issues).
• Coordinate with Operations, Credit/Risk, Tech, Sales, Customer Support, and Collections to unblock issues.
• Track execution risks and drive closure.
• Gather customer and internal feedback and convert it into measurable improvements.
