Manage budget-to-actuals across labor, vendor costs, and product flow; recommend corrective actions to protect margin and timeline.

Drive continuous improvement by identifying operational gaps, elevating process consistency, and helping refine tools, workflows, and documentation to improve efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and the overall client experience.
