You will support local Data Centre Technicians by ensuring they are well-informed about relevant processes. You will serve as a local escalation point for finance-related issues and support site management and other Business Program Managers by maintaining key metrics, providing data, and conducting analyses for informed decision-making.

You should have experience in budget creation, procurement, financial analysis, and project execution. Excellent communication skills are essential for collaborating with internal and external stakeholders.
