• Act as the primary finance business partner for infrastructure projects and site launches, ensuring financial compliance and alignment with strategic goals.
• Oversee the end-to-end procurement lifecycle, including preparing strategic Statement of Work (SOWs)/Framework Services Agreement (FSAs), managing purchase orders, and troubleshooting vendor invoices.

• 2 years of experience in program or project management.

• Experience planning and managing multi-million dollar capital expenditures and operational expenditures budgets, including financial forecasting, accrual reporting, and variance analysis.
