Monitor performance metrics, dashboards, and project milestones; provide executive reporting on compliance.

Lead change management, workforce development, and training initiatives to drive adoption of digital records practices and reinforce accountability across divisions.

Manage high-value vendor relationships and contracts related to offsite storage, digitization services, and records management platforms.
