•    Oversee the management of budget, vendors/partners, and licensing; drive platform and process maturity.
•    Partner with Internal Audit, Compliance, and Risk to reduce audit findings and strengthen control evidence
•    Establish measurable KPIs tied to control effectiveness, certification completion, and access remediation SLAs.
