• Provide holistic reporting across financials, contract performance, quality, productivity, and labour footprint.

You’ll collaborate closely with the Account Customer Partner (CP), Architecture , Service Relationship Management (SRM), and Build teams to ensure cohesive, aligned, and high-quality delivery.
