Partner with Finance and program owners to monitor budgets, forecasts, and variances, and provide leadership with a clear view of spending and resource commitments.

Coordinate with Supply Chain, Facilities, HR, and other functions to ensure organizational needs are reflected in their plans and execution.

Lead selected strategic initiatives from definition through implementation, establishing scope, deliverables, schedules, resource requirements, and success measures.

Partner with Product Technologies leadership and technical owners to transition strategic priorities into coordinated execution plans.

Drive cross-functional work across technical and business teams, clarifying ownership, resolving dependencies, and maintaining progress against commitments.

Establish disciplined project reviews, communicate risks and tradeoffs, and lead recovery plans when execution departs from expectations.

Support technical and scientific proposals and statements of work by coordinating scope, schedules, resource estimates, costing inputs, and internal reviews with technical leads, Finance, and Contracts.

Coordinate the transition of approved proposals and new initiatives into execution, ensuring that commitments are reflected in program plans, budgets, and ownership.

Lead targeted improvements in productivity, development processes, and operational efficiency, working with technical and functional owners to measure and sustain results.

Ensure completed initiatives have clear operational owners, documented processes, and an effective handoff into ongoing activities.

Occasional travel, up to 25%, and flexibility to collaborate across global time zones.
