Overview:
This role supports engineering teams across the full budget lifecycle — planning, forecasting, accruals, and reporting. The coordinator serves as a trusted point of contact for budget owners, partners closely with Procurement, Sourcing, Accounts Payable, and program management, and builds the recurring reporting and automation that the organization relies on
Key Responsibilities:
• Support engineering teams through quarterly and annual planning cycles by clarifying processes and tooling, resolving inquiries, and providing tailored analytical support to ensure on-time submissions
• Partner with cross-functional teams to audit budget and forecast submissions in internal tooling, ensuring data integrity and accuracy while providing ad hoc support to stakeholders
• Log action items from reviews, follow up with owners, and drive items to closure
• Run and review the monthly accrual cycle: collect accruals from owners, validate against open PO balances and goods or services received, and enter them in the internal tool on time
• Build and maintain recurring reporting, including weekly and monthly budget status, forecast status, commitment reports, vendor and PO views, and dashboards
• Build reusable AI agents and assistants for recurring workflows, analysis, and reporting tasks to drive efficiency and scale
• Act as a trusted point of contact for budget owners on spend questions, working cross-functionally with Procurement, Sourcing Managers, Accounts Payable, and program management
Day-to-day in the role:
• Review spending on a regular basis against what is budgeted for the quarter or year, and assess how each team is tracking
• Where a team is lagging, work with spend owners to understand the blockers.
• Compile that information into a report for the lead or director
• Share insights with directors and walk them through the findings
• Follow up on suggestions and feedback and close the loop with the directors
• Five times a year, be the boots on the ground supporting budget owners and engineering teams through budgeting and forecasting cycles — each cycle can run three to four weeks
How will the performance be measured:
• Ability to gather feedback from budget owners and understand where they are stuck
• Ability to pull that into genuinely insightful reports with recommendations
• Quality of the insights produced.
• Completing work on time and escalating issues when they surface
