* Build or enhance templates, trackers, or job aids to support operational consistency and standardization.
* Document new AI-assisted or automated processes and prepare easy-to-follow guides for team members.
* Support process-improvement initiatives, including mapping workflows, updating documentation, and creating visual or written workflow guides. Collaborate with Finance Operations, Sales, and other internal partners to gather information and support departmental activities as needed.

* Demonstrated interest in business operations, process improvement, or data-driven work.
