- Payroll, Invoicing & Financial Controls: Own backend operational payroll inputs and agency pay workflows in partnership with Finance. Supervise US/Canadian invoices, payment and pay validations as well as agency pay file accuracy.
- Cross-Functional & Client Ops Integration: Serve as the primary operational liaison for CAB meetings, welcome communications for new charities, and new client onboarding. Partner with the Senior Operations Business Partner and functional SVPs to align field systems with broader business goals.
- Field Events & Recognition Initiatives: Lead operational logistics and planning for major company events (Field Summit). Direct the Sales Ops Awards and manager recognition programs to drive engagement, retention, and field morale.
