+ Monitor portfolio performance metrics, analyze capital efficiency, and recommend strategies to optimize returns and reduce risks.

+ Create executive-level reports, dashboards, and presentations that effectively communicate insights and support decision-making.

+ Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders—such as Executive and Senior Directors, Member Services—and external partners including business owners, investors, and tribal members to gather information and align on initiatives.

+ Achieve professional growth through certifications such as FMVA and CPA with organizational support.

Success Metrics (6–12 Months)

Preferred:
