- Analyze cloud, tooling, vendor, contractor, and technology infrastructure spend tied to engineering productivity and cost efficiency.
- Maintain reporting and analysis around R&D spend as a percentage of revenue, cost by product/platform/initiative, capitalized versus expensed development, innovation versus maintenance capacity, and location mix.
