• Provide actionable feedback to Sunbit internal teams on partner needs, operational challenges, competitive insights, and broader Fixed Ops trends.
• Support service-center teams with ongoing training and coaching to ensure advisors confidently present Sunbit and follow best practices consistently.

• Proven ability to coach teams and implement processes, especially when introducing or scaling technology solutions.
• Strong business and financial analysis skills with the ability to assess performance, identify opportunities, and execute data-driven action plans.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to present confidently to service-center leadership.
• High proficiency with Microsoft tools (PowerPoint, Excel, Word) and solid project-management capabilities.
• Self-motivated, resourceful, and proactive, with a willingness to roll up your sleeves and drive results in a fast-moving environment.
• Highly organized with strong time-management skills and the ability to manage a large, multi-location account portfolio independently.
• Willingness to travel extensively
