·       Adjust plans as needed to address exceptions, dependency shifts, business priority changes, and delivery constraints while continuously improving execution efficiency. Financial planning and business case support

·       Lead cross-functional efforts to define budget requirements for transformation initiatives, product capabilities, and related program work.

·       Provide thought leadership into initial financial estimates and partner with finance and business owners to develop business cases and funding requests.

·       Identify drivers of potential budget variance early and hold functional partners accountable for delivery within approved allocations. Quality, readiness, and delivery assurance
