  • Build numerical frameworks and KPI scorecards that accurately benchmark IT cost-efficiency and operational performance over time
  • Leverage AI tools and automated financial modeling to continuously optimize forecasting cycle times and surface cost-saving opportunities
  • Reconcile vendor accounts, oversee multi-year commitment lifecycles, and provide predictive modeling to reduce overall technology financial risk

  • Outstanding cross-functional communication and relationship-building skills to bridge perspectives between IT technical leaders and executive management
  • High adaptability in fast-paced environments with a continuous focus on process improvement, data integrity, and dashboard refinement
  • Practical AI application skills to streamline financial data processing, report generation, and predictive variance analysis
