• Partner cross-functionally with Finance, HR, and department leaders to improve cost transparency, cost allocation logic, and spend governance.
• Create and deliver presentations (charts/graphs/tables) for the Senior Leadership Team and other stakeholders, highlighting drivers, implications, and recommended actions.
