Convene the right leaders, present options and recommendations, and drive timely resolution within approved scope, schedule, budget, security, quality, and compliance expectations.
• 5% - Define and lead CBT due diligence requirements and assessments. Identify material technology risks, costs, dependencies, transition service requirements, and Day 1 or separation-readiness considerations, and translate findings into clear recommendations for deal leadership.
• 5% - Develop and communicate concise financial, operational, and execution updates for diverse audiences. Maintain transparent forecasts, assumptions, decisions, and status reporting, and actively strengthen A&D capability and knowledge-sharing across CBT and the broader technology organization.

Other Duties:

• Indirectly lead deal-focused CBT resources and partner closely with A&D Deal Leads and Program Leads/Managers.
