• Coordinate with the Delivery Central Performance Office to integrate commercial insights into centralized performance dashboards.
• Ensure visibility of commercial risks, claims trends, and lessons learned across Business Units, enabling proactive decision-making.
• Standardize templates, dashboards, and KPIs for reporting of Delivery Partner performance across the portfolio.
