- Assist project managers in planning, coordinating, and tracking project progress.
- Identify automation solutions to improve encounter analysis efficiency and accuracy.

- Use critical thinking skills to assess and interpret delegate needs and requirements.
- Facilitate change management processes to ensure smooth transitions and adoption of new systems and processes. Work with minimal guidance; seek guidance on only the most complex tasks.
