- Manage department and project budgets, including supporting forecasting, annual planning input, purchase requisitions, purchase orders, vendor spend oversight, accrual support, and routine financial reporting to leadership.
- Partner with GTS architecture, infrastructure, cybersecurity, data, integration, service management, procurement, finance, and external vendors to deliver and support Quality technology solutions.

- Coordinate and support validation and CSA deliverables for system changes and projects, including planning input, documentation coordination, testing evidence review, deviation support, release readiness, and operational handover.
- Maintain strong working knowledge of Quality business processes, GxP expectations, inspection readiness, and regulated system operations to ensure technology decisions appropriately support the Quality organization.
- Monitor technology service trends, compliance risks, project status, resource constraints, and vendor performance; escalate issues and recommend practical improvements to strengthen operational reliability and business value.
- Provide clear communication to Quality and GTS leadership regarding project delivery, operational performance, roadmap progress, budget status, risks, tradeoffs, and decisions required.
