  • Participating in calibration sessions to align review standards across delivery teams

  • Supporting audits, client reviews, and internal assurance activities as required

  • Collaborating with Team Leaders, SMEs, and delivery stakeholders to ensure consistent quality outcomes

  • Ensuring timely and accurate tracker updates, including quality checklists
