Key responsibilities & impact

Lead development of the enterprise capital plan, validating assumptions and timing across demand, real estate, power, supply chain, and delivery performance reforecasts and translating them into a portfolio‑wide, decision‑ready capital outlook.
Serve as the enterprise authority on capital planning, challenging assumptions, trade-offs, and investment priorities to enable disciplined capital allocation.
Own enterprise accountability for capital integrity, ensuring the multi-year capital plan is accurate, reconciled, operationally grounded, and audit-ready.
Translate long-term growth strategy into scenario-based capital deployment analysis, owning scenario outputs for executive cross-portfolio trade-off decisions across growth, capacity, liquidity, and risk.
Quantify portfolio capital risks, trends, and execution impacts, providing executive leadership with clear recommendations on exposure, priorities, and investment implications.
Ensure project‑level development capital requests are rigorously validated before aggregation into the enterprise capital plan and presentation to Capital Committee.
Frame and deliver the executive capital narrative to Capital Committee, clearly articulating changes, drivers, and implications to capital deployment, liquidity, and risk.
Partner with Accounting and Finance to lead the enterprise capital planning framework, ensuring governance, alignment, and audit-ready reporting.
Lead post‑completion capital performance reviews and embed lessons learned into estimating standards, forecasting methodologies, and planning assumptions to strengthen future decision-making.
Build and lead a high-performing enterprise capital planning and reporting team, driving alignment across cross-functional teams without direct authority by setting standards for analytical rigor and execution credibility.
Serve as senior interface for executive leadership and investment partners, aligning internal capital strategy with growth and risk expectations.
