Technology & Reporting

1. Assess and recommend case management design in ServiceNow; lead or support implementation in partnership with HR Technology.

2. Define the reporting framework for the function: key metrics, data sources, reporting cadence, and audience-appropriate views (operational vs. executive).

3. Build initial dashboards or report templates that give the permanent team ongoing visibility into caseload, cycle times, and accommodation trends.

1. Onboard the permanent Senior Accommodations Specialist, providing structured mentorship on both case management and program operations.
