You will operate in a dual-ownership model, reporting to the Director of Finance for Engineering with a dotted line to the CTO Office who owns the global grant program portfolio and strategic program delivery. Your primary mission is to ensure reporting and audit integrity, implement rigorous financial governance to protect and grow our grant-funded initiatives and development of a grant valuation and gating model.
