• Classify costs (fixed vs. variable) and support initiatives to improve cost structure and operational efficiency

• Prepare executive‑ready presentations, variance explanations, and strategic insights for senior leadership and Board materials

• Support transformation projects, ad hoc analysis, and enterprise initiatives

• Promote continuous improvement across planning processes, modeling, and reporting
