• Deliver financial guidance throughout the full life cycle of programs-from requirements development through execution and closeout-for complex to highly complex programs
• Develop independent assessments and recommended strategic financial roadmaps supporting Air Force, U.S. Space Force, and mission partner architectures, advising senior leadership on courses of action
