Who are we looking for?

Extract, analyze and trend case volume data, telling stories and influencing product development and training strategy to reduce # of cases per active user
Resolve client problems and concerns; Be the final escalation point for the Hiring Expert Team
Hire, lead, manage, coach, hold accountable and provide direct feedback to all team members
