Quantify the impact of key bodies of work by applying analytical techniques to translate value hypotheses into defensible, data-backed assessments that stand up to scrutiny.
Develop and refine key metrics, KPIs, and targets for transformation initiatives and core workstreams, ensuring each body of work has clear, measurable indicators tied to Our Path to 2030 objectives.
Deliver actionable insight to leadership that informs prioritization decisions, surfacing what is working, what is at risk, and where resources and focus should shift to protect or accelerate value.
Partner with business and technology leaders as part of broader working teams to understand initiative scope, validate value assumptions, and build shared alignment on how impact will be measured and realized.
Build and maintain reporting that tracks plan versus actual performance at the initiative level, making trends, variances, and opportunities visible and actionable.
Pressure-test business cases and assumptions with rigor and constructive challenge, holding stakeholders accountable to committed outcomes and flagging risks early.
Contribute to the evolution of the value realization framework and measurement standards used across the Transformational Office, helping codify best practices as the capability matures.
