3. Work Allocation & Capacity Management
   Ensure workloads are balanced across the team and that deadlines are consistently met.
   Monitor overall capacity and resource requirements, adjusting as necessary to maintain productivity.
4. Client & HR Management
   Address and resolve any client complaints or issues in a timely manner.
   Maintain up-to-date HR records, including absence tracking and performance logs.
5. Cross-Functional Collaboration
   Work closely with other teams and senior leaders to share insights, align on objectives, and uphold the firm's standards of excellence.
