  • Apply established adjudication guidelines and escalation protocols.
  • Partner with Compliance, Legal, HR, and business stakeholders on escalated or sensitive cases.
  • Support adverse action processes in accordance with applicable regulations and company standards.
  • Maintain accurate audit documentation and evidence retention practices, and help keep process documentation, standard operating procedures, and workflow updates current.
  • Identify process gaps, control risks, and opportunities for operational improvement.
  • Participate in quality assurance reviews and compliance audits through reporting, documentation, and process validation.
  • Provide regionally aligned support across multiple business units.

Qualifications

  • Strong attention to detail and the ability to manage sensitive and confidential information.
  • Strong organizational, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a high-volume operational environment.
  • Experience with HRIS and onboarding technologies, including Fieldglass and Oracle, preferred.

Success Measures

  • Adherence to established onboarding and screening service level agreements.
  • Reduction in audit findings, compliance gaps, and onboarding exceptions.
  • Accurate review, escalation, and adjudication of screening results in accordance with company standards.
  • Effective management of onboarding gating controls to prevent premature worker activation or system access.
