• Act as a visible champion for your teams, ensuring they feel supported, heard, and set up for success
• Coach and mentor producers and coordinators, reinforcing best practices in execution, communication, and financial management
• Partner closely with Resource Management to ensure smooth team integration and sustainable workloads

• Actively participate in finance meetings and forecasting conversations
• Oversee third-party costs, vendor agreements, and freelance engagements
• Build and maintain strong vendor and supplier relationships

• Proven experience owning budgets, forecasts, and financial outcomes across multiple programs
