• Define operational KPIs and build leadership dashboards on approved reporting platforms.
• Build and automate the data models and pipelines behind the dashboards.

• Track capital and operating spend (Capex/Opex) against plan, explain variances, and produce total cost of ownership analyses for investment decisions.
• Own the operational cadence for business reviews, lead execution tracking against key priorities, and strengthen governance and compliance.
• Drive resolution of cross-functional risks with accountable leaders.
• Turn various analyses into executive-ready insight.

• Experience with budgets, variance analysis, and forecasting.
• Ability to turn inconsistent, multi-source inputs into clear, trustworthy conclusions.
• Demonstrated ability to influence stakeholders and drive improvements without direct authority.
• Clear, concise communication across engineering, finance, and leadership audiences.
• Experience supporting engineering or R&D operations at scale across multiple sites, including in the US and Europe.
• Automation and scripting skills (SQL, Python, or Power Automate) that replace manual reporting with reliable pipelines.
• Experience managing enterprise-scale spending (multi-million-dollar budgets) and standing up an analytics or operations function in a new organization.
