• Identify process gaps, documentation issues, workflow inefficiencies, or recurring support challenges and drive continuous improvement across the site-support model.

• Support onboarding, training, and skill development of site support personnel while reinforcing Oracle standards for professionalism, accountability, and customer service.

• Provide regular visibility to site leadership on support workload, process health, staffing needs, service issues, and improvement opportunities.

• Help scale the site-support function as campus size, operational activity, and stakeholder needs increase.
