• Optimise cost control: recommend corrective measures, assess the financial impacts of scope changes and contribute to budget control.

• Advance practices: develop, harmonise and improve cost control tools, methods and processes across the organisation.

• Ensure information quality: carry out targeted checks to ensure the accuracy, consistency and reliability of financial data and forecasts.

• Share your expertise: act as a resource person for teams, promote knowledge transfer and contribute to developing a management culture focused on rigour and performance.

Your profile

• Ability to influence, advise and mobilise stakeholders at different levels of the organisation.
