Responsibilities

Run the business cadence: annual/quarterly planning, monthly close/forecast, and recurring business reviews, drive agendas, decision logs, actions, and stakeholder accountability.
Own end-to-end budget management (primarily non-labor OPEX hardware and other spend, including D&A), including baseline, reforecasts, reallocations, approvals, and spend controls aligned to business priorities and the operating plan.
Lead forecasting, variance management, and performance readouts: surface risks/opportunities early, drive root-cause analysis, and coordinate mitigation plans across owners.

Build and improve planning processes that scale (intake, prioritization, planning templates, and automation) to reduce cycle time, improve data quality, and increase predictability.
Partner with functional teams and finance to align priorities, manage dependencies, remove blockers, and communicate tradeoffs; facilitate alignment across functions and leadership levels.
Maintain governance and compliance for business planning and financial processes: ensure adherence to policies, approval workflows, and documentation standards; support audit readiness as needed.
Own business administration mechanics (cost centers, accruals, transfers, purchasing/vendor workflows where applicable) and ensure clean ownership, and timely reconciliation.
