* 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.
