What are Senior Project Controllers?

Senior Project Controllers are experienced professionals responsible for overseeing and managing the financial and scheduling aspects of large projects within an organization. They monitor project budgets, track expenses, analyze project performance data, and ensure that projects are completed on time and within budget. Additionally, they provide detailed reports to stakeholders, identify potential risks, and recommend corrective actions to keep projects on track.

How does a Senior Project Controller typically interact with project managers and other stakeholders during a project's lifecycle?
