Help the ALD drive improved project management and budget execution down into the directorate.

Work with center directors, project managers and the project management support organization to ensure that matrixed resource plans are accurately reflected in financial plans.

Simplify financial management for project, center, and directorate leaders. Work with other business managers and stakeholders to develop ideas, simplify and integrate all key business processes from identification of opportunities to project closeout. Ensure that process and system design maximizes value to project managers so that system data is as accurate as possible. Partner with various lab stakeholders to drive change in support of these goals.

Be the directorate’s key interface to other OCFO organizations. Work with the Acquisition Services Group to improve the directorate’s procurement forecasting and contract management processes. Work with OCFO’s Financial Operations Group to ensure Oracle cost reporting and Alliance funding needs are accurate.

Serve as the directorate’s expert for all financial matters, and coordinate financial training for the directorate.
