• Serve as the primary escalation point for SPAs on project, financial, or process-related issues.
• Independently resolve complex issues within defined authority, escalating appropriately when broader leadership decisions or cross-functional coordination are required.
• Identify root causes of recurring issues and drive corrective actions or process improvements.
• Partner with SPA Managers on escalations requiring broader decision-making, risk management, or cross-functional alignment.

Coaching, Mentorship & Quality Control

•  Coach, mentor, and support SPAs through real-time guidance and feedback, strengthening problem-solving capabilities and professional confidence.
• Conduct quality reviews on forecasting, billing, reporting, and financial controls to ensure consistency and accuracy.
• Support onboarding and ongoing skill development for SPAs joining the team.
• Act as a role model for "what great looks like" in SPA execution, professionalism, and stakeholder communication.

Process Standardization & Continuous Improvement

•  Drive process standardization across regions and accounts by reinforcing best practices and identifying efficiency opportunities.
• Support adoption of automation, reporting enhancements, and tooling improvements aligned to the modernization roadmap.
• Collaborate with peer Lead SPAs and SPA Managers to share insights, improve consistency, and scale improvements across the organization.

Stakeholder Support & Collaboration

• Partner with cross-functional stakeholder teams to support accurate and timely financial and project reporting.
• Proactively communicate risks, trends, and issues impacting project performance or delivery outcomes.
