They represent their team internally and externally as a trusted stakeholder, and have ownership over key domains where they are owning initiatives independently. They drive process and product improvements in their own domain (in collaboration with key stakeholders) while keeping the escalated core tasks within SLA. The Senior Specialists are serving as the operational support function for stakeholders in their domain.
