• Monitor KPIs such as closure rates, cycle time, backlog trends, aging items, and compliance risk exposure.

Risk Reduction Through Process Improvement

• Establish standards for corrective action quality, verification of effectiveness, and measurable impact on compliance risk.

Framework Ownership & Governance

• Align and maintain the enterprise framework for commitment performance and compliance risk mitigation, including methodologies, workflows, definitions, and governance routines.

Performance Reporting & Executive Engagement

• Deliver performance reporting that provides leaders with visibility into progress, risk exposure, barriers, and required decisions.

• Present performance insights in leadership forums (e.g., RCC, CIC, operating reviews), including recommendations for risk mitigation and prioritization.

Cross Functional Alignment & Leadership

• Partner across Compliance, Governance, Operations, Engineering, Wildfire, Regulatory Affairs, and Legal to ensure commitments and corrective actions target the highest priority risks.

• Drive shared understanding of risk reduction priorities, compliance expectations, and required actions across functions.

• Foster a culture of continuous improvement and disciplined execution by coaching teams on commitment quality, risk based decision making, and process excellence.

Continuous Improvement & Learning

• Assess the effectiveness of corrective actions over time and identify opportunities to strengthen or redesign them when risks persist.

• Lead retrospectives on compliance incidents and regulatory findings to codify lessons learned and embed them into future commitments.

• Develop playbooks, standards, and best practices for risk driven commitments and compliance focused performance management.
