You route approvals, track the pipeline, and follow up when things stall. You review cost accuracy before submissions, flag outliers, and maintain a portfolio-level view of what"s approved, in flight, and at risk. During OP cycles, you own timelines, cost aggregation, and the narrative documents behind the numbers. When a process is slow, you fix it.
