• Review work for accuracy, completeness, timeliness, confidentiality, and adherence to established procedures, implementing corrective coaching and additional training when needed.
• Act as the first-line escalation point for complex intake questions, provider data gaps, urgent case initiation requirements, and unusual workflow barriers.
• Support provider vetting and onboarding by tracking required documentation, training status, rosters, credentials, and approvals while escalating outstanding requirements.
• Partner with data and technology teams to maintain effective interim tracking tools and support the transition toward longer-term case management solutions.
• Facilitate meetings, strengthen communication across teams and partners, resolve operational barriers, and promote accountability, responsiveness, equity, confidentiality, and trauma-informed practices.
• Identify opportunities for continuous improvement and help ensure evolving program requirements are translated into practical, effective workflows.

• Experience in intake, referral, case coordination, provider coordination, customer support, program operations, data quality, or workflow implementation within a complex environment.
• Demonstrated experience developing or improving procedures, desk guides, trackers, status reports, quality checks, training materials, or other operational documentation.
• Experience communicating operational performance, staffing requirements, risks, barriers, and process-improvement recommendations to leadership.
• Experience in federally or grant-funded programs, public-sector environments, legal services, immigrant or refugee services, child welfare, juvenile justice, healthcare, behavioral health, or other human services is preferred.
• Familiarity with ORR programs, unaccompanied children, immigration legal services, provider networks, or post-release service continuity is strongly preferred.
