Tell us about your role. What does your job entail? As an operations analyst, I am always looking to improve the work environment for my colleagues and the Service-to-Bill team gives me a chance to work across a large process rather than one facet of the business. When roadblocks occur or issues build, I enjoy tackling the associated challenges so that my coworkers can work more effortlessly. There are always new innovations, and I love learning and bringing those ideas back.
