Conduct deep root cause investigations, synthesizing findings into clear and actionable insights for leadership and operational teams. Partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, and Legal to escalate structural or process-level gaps uncovered through EPSO cases, contributing directly to long-term improvement. Serve as a key link between Executive Leadership and Operations, providing crisp, executive-ready updates that communicate both tactical resolution and strategic implications. Collaborate closely with Communications and Marketing to ensure alignment in tone, messaging, and brand integrity during sensitive or public-facing issues. Identify and flag emerging trends or risks, acting as an early-warning mechanism for potential brand, safety, or operational challenges. Craft concise, executive-caliber summaries and internal reports, distilling complex case histories into clear narratives and next steps. Support continuity and consistency across EPSO’s 24/7 operation by reviewing global case activity, documenting key learnings, and ensuring smooth handovers between shifts.

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to craft messages suitable for executive audiences. Strong analytical and investigative capabilities, with demonstrated experience identifying and explaining root and systemic causes.
