• Manage the outsourced provider relationship end‑to‑end, including staffing models, prioritization, service delivery planning, executive communications, and structured escalation paths to ensure business continuity and stakeholder satisfaction.
• Implement and maintain vendor scorecards (SLAs/KPIs, quality, cycle time, cost, and compliance), lead regular performance governance forums, and drive data‑based decisions, benchmarking, and service improvements.
• Drive continuous improvement with the outsourced provider by identifying automation and process optimization opportunities, governing change implementation (controls, training, and adoption), and ensuring sustained performance gains via root‑cause analysis and action tracking.
