    • Collaborate with cross-functional leadership to ensure compliance with all federal, state, and local regulatory requirements.
  • Operational Excellence & Transformation:
    • Champion continuous improvement by leading value engineering and cost-reduction initiatives.
    • Partner with IT to automate workflows and adopt new technologies, specifically focusing on data warehousing and business intelligence tools to enhance financial visibility.
