- Build and maintain key relationships: Act as the bilingual (Spanish/English) point of contact for clients, approvers, site operations teams, and vendors to ensure seamless communication and issue resolution.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives: Document standard procedures, develop backup coverage plans, identify and implement process enhancements, and support broader JBS initiatives and projects.
