Additionally, you will conduct annual reviews to enhance methods for analyzing multi-year data sets, leveraging historical insights and specialized expertise to effectively communicate the evolution of the cost model.

You will also support revenue and carryforward analysis for the entire CBSP, breaking it down by revenue source, and assist in developing spending plans by fund source utilizing model outputs to offer guidance and justification for expenditures.

Updating Standard Operating Procedures for maintaining the cost model and providing relevant training and support to colleagues on the model and ABC software will be part of your responsibilities.

Participation in team meetings will be expected, covering topics such as planning, data collection and analysis, data validation, modeling, unit cost analysis, and revenue analysis.

You will provide technical guidance and support to junior staff regarding the model and software, ensuring the maintenance of professional competence and a robust knowledge base by staying informed on emerging trends and best practices related to ABC and modeling. Other duties may be assigned by the team or CA/C leadership as necessary.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills are a must, as is a customer service-oriented approach that emphasizes problem-solving and maintaining high ethical standards. Proficiency in Microsoft applications (MS Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) is necessary, along with familiarity with various virtual meeting platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Webex, and Zoom.
