5. Producing and defending the program's numbers in front of group management, from monthly results to the quarterly value report.

6. Owning the points liability model, its breakage and redemption assumptions, and the exposure they carry.

7. Identifying where the program can create more value in cost, margin, and cash, and driving that agenda across the program.

8. ⁠Holding the financial governance of the business unit: closes, purchase orders, the revenue cycle with partners, operating policy, and financial controls.
