- Tracks and reports optimization outcomes against quarterly and annual targets, distinguishing realized savings from identified opportunities.
Forecasting & Finance Partnership: 25%- Builds and maintains technology cost forecasts across cloud, SaaS, AI and on premises spend, with documented methodology, variance tolerances, and a monthly re-forecast cadence.
