• Collaborate with Support, Implementation, Customer Success, Product, Engineering, and other internal teams to investigate and resolve vetting-related issues.
• Use SQL and other data-analysis tools to research telephone numbers, historical activity, vetting results, and anomalies.
• Develop and maintain reports, dashboards, and metrics to identify trends, operational concerns, and opportunities for improvement.
• Identify opportunities to improve vetting efficiency through process improvements, automation, and enhancements to existing tools and workflows.
• Participate in requirements gathering, testing, and validation for new or enhanced vetting tools, processes, products, and verification methods.
• Develop and maintain documentation for vetting processes, exceptions, investigations, and troubleshooting procedures.
• Escalate technical or operational issues to the appropriate resources when necessary.
• Mentor and train interns and less-experienced team members.

What you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field such as Management Information Systems, Computer Science, Business Administration, Data Analytics, or equivalent relevant work experience.

• Strong investigative and troubleshooting skills.
• Ability to analyze and interpret significant amounts of data.
• Solid SQL skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to clearly explain vetting requirements and findings to technical and non-technical audiences.
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple requests, investigations, and competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to clearly document findings, processes, and requirements.
• Ability to learn new applications, workflows, products, and data sources.
