• Leverage AI tools and advanced analytics to provide proactive insights on financial risks and opportunities, translate complex data into actionable business recommendations, and drive solutions.
• Utilize AI-assisted financial modeling and forecasting tools to automate financial reporting, variance analysis, and anomaly detection, while maintaining rigor and understanding of AI limitations in financial decision-making.
• Manage portfolio of capital projects and partner strategically with Program Management, Engineering, and Operations leadership to develop ROI, EAC, and funding analysis that directly informs business decisions.
• Advise on optimal strategies to meet key schedule milestones while ensuring teams are executing within financial constraints; proactively identify where financial flexibility can enable programmatic success.
• Build trusted advisor relationships by understanding business unit strategies, constraints, and priorities; communicate technical financial analysis in clear narratives for non-financial stakeholders and influence executive-level strategic decisions.
• Continuously improve financial processes, source data quality, models, and reporting by identifying key performance drivers and introducing new analytical methods, including experimentation with emerging tools and approaches.
