• Perform quality checks on selected L1-handled cases and identify recurring mistakes, process deviations, or training needs
• Support queue organisation, prioritisation, backlog reduction, and follow-up tracking for authority-related workflows where specialist input is required

Requirements

• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to formulate clear, professional, precise, and legally appropriate responses in German
