• Ticketing & backlog reporting: Track and report on ticket completion, cycle times, and backlog reduction; maintain dashboards/spreadsheets and drive follow-ups to closure.
• Continuous improvement: Apply systems thinking to connect SharePoint work with broader channel strategy (e.g., email, live meetings, intranet/news) and identify opportunities to streamline processes and improve user experience.
