    Deployed Services Management:

    + Develop and implement strategies for the effective deployment of financial resources to support scientific programs, lab operations and initiatives.

    + Establish and champion best practices for the management of deployed services, ensuring efficiency and optimal resource allocation.

    + Implement consistent training programs to keep financial staff updated on the latest industry practices and technologies.

    Collaboration and Communication:

    + Facilitate effective communication and collaboration between financial teams and other laboratory units.

    + Advocate for transparent and clear communication of financial information to stakeholders.

    + Collaborate with external partners and funding agencies to strengthen relationships and align financial goals.

    Advocacy and Streamlining:

    + Advocate for financial best practices and efficiency improvements within the organization.

    + Identify opportunities for streamlining financial processes to enhance effectiveness and reduce bureaucracy and complexity.

    + Actively engage in advocacy efforts to secure additional funding and resources for key scientific initiatives.

    + Drive continuous improvement initiatives in financial processes, systems, and methodologies.

    + Stay informed about industry best practices and emerging trends, implementing relevant changes to enhance financial management practices.
