Operate performance management (EVM where applicable): support baseline management and interpret key variances (CV/SV/CPI/SPI); prepare content for internal/external reviews and audits.
Build scalable processes and tooling: standard templates, dashboards, models, and mechanisms that improve speed, accuracy, and governance as program volume increases.
Communicate clearly to leadership: deliver crisp narratives and decision memos for Autonomous Airpower leadership and Division Finance.
Hire and develop talent: manage and mentor analysts; set standards for analytical quality, documentation, controls, and stakeholder management.
Ad-hoc analysis for Business Cases and other studies, with understanding of broader impacts to financial results
