Responsibilities

• Own business performance metrics across the enterprise, including definitions, data sources, calculation logic, thresholds, and ownership for each measure.
• Establish and maintain a single trusted reporting layer so leaders debate decisions rather than debating whose numbers are correct.
• Bake Strategy Deployment Process (SDP) artifacts and processes into standard business reviews, monthly operating reviews (MOR), and the Obeya room, so performance reporting is part of how the business already runs.
• Leverage AI and automation to reduce manual reporting effort, surface anomalies earlier, and expand analytical coverage without adding headcount.
• Partner with FP&A to validate the financial benefits claimed by improvement initiatives and enterprise strategic projects, distinguishing run rate from one‑time impact and validated savings from forecast.
• Ensure improvement results are traceable into the financial plan and appear in operating and financial reviews rather than in a parallel narrative.
• Support sustainment auditing by providing the measurement backbone that shows whether gains hold after a project closes.
• Lead monthly Bowler production and drive countermeasure chasing, ensuring red conditions have named owners, dated actions, and visible follow‑through.
• Own daily management standards across the enterprise, including SQDICP boards, tiered escalation, and the visual management standard used in the Obeya room.
• Own the replication register so proven countermeasures and improvements spread across sites, functions, and business areas instead of being solved repeatedly.
• Ensure OKR alignment across business areas and corporate functions, and enforce traceability from enterprise objectives through function level goals to team level measures.
• Identify misalignment, orphaned objectives, and metric gaps, and drive
