Not sure what to delegate?
Start with the work that repeats every week.
List the recurring tasks, bottlenecks, tools, response times, and approvals. That is usually enough to define the first version of the role.
Tools and skills
Hire for workflow fluency, not a software checklist.
Software familiarity matters, but process judgment matters more. Ask candidates to explain what they completed inside the tool, how they checked accuracy, and what they escalated.
