This may include supporting identification of commercial and execution risks, review of mitigation strategies, assessing likelihood of risk occurrence, and independently validating completion of thorough risk reviews.

The candidate will need to partner with the business unit senior leadership team and key project personnel to ensure Westinghouse retains a healthy risk/reward balance.  This role will lead critical project reviews and is responsible for supporting the business to prepare portfolio reviews at the BU/segment and sub-segment level.
