• Provide project teams, PMF management, steering committees, site leadership, and global leadership with consolidated financial and timeline information (forecasts and actuals).  Define project Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and measure and report project Progress to the project team, PMF management, steering committees, site leadership, and global leadership.  Perform financial and business analyses, as / when needed, either on project or operational matters and report / explain variances versus target.

• When scope change is required (by the Steering Committee or other drivers), prepare and coordinate the necessary elements supporting the decision making by site and global governance committees – with focus on financial and regulatory impact.  Ensure the follow-up and communication of project scope changes and execution changes.

• Identify and recommend opportunities for improvement, such as timeline acceleration while balancing cost and without compromising on quality.  Support the project team on implementing improvement opportunities.  Communicate lessons learned across the corporate project management function.
