Troubleshoot Smartsheet access issues following documented procedures; submit/track access requests and remove access when requested. Perform data housekeeping (cleanup, deduplication) and support routine backups following team standards. Update workflow/process documentation, including naming conventions and change logs. Support quality assurance activities (spot checks, sample validation, link checks) under supervision. Collaborate with business colleagues to understand reporting requirements; capture meeting notes and translate into task lists. Contribute to developing new workflows and maintaining existing ones; draft step‑by‑step guides with screenshots where helpful. For Smartsheet onboarding, we’ll embed best practices (access control, automation, backups, documentation) from the internal guidance page to support the new hire’s ramp‑up. **Learning & Development** Structured onboarding to Pearson collaboration, workflow, data, and document management best practices.
