You will help simplify how teams work, reduce reliance on tribal knowledge, and create scalable operating standards that evolve with the business.

- Help create an accessible source of truth that reduces reliance on tribal knowledge and enables associates to quickly understand how work gets done.

- 2+ years of experience in process improvement, project management, business operations, business analysis, knowledge management, or a related field.
- Experience developing, documenting, or improving business processes and standard operating procedures.
- Experience working cross-functionally with multiple stakeholders and subject matter experts.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complex information into simple, actionable content.

- Ability to identify root causes, challenge existing ways of working, and recommend practical solutions.
- Strong organizational and project-management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities and workstreams.
