Your tasks and responsibilities

• Steer and support operational budget planning: Drive the annual operational planning (OP), Estimate at Completion (EAC), and forecasting processes in close alignment with stakeholders.
• Facilitate the coordination and management of workload planning and ensure effective SAP integration.
