Job Level

About the role

  • Own portfolio investment strategy and prioritization across BSE products, platforms, and shared services.
  • Standardize business cases and ROI narratives (unit economics, cost-to-serve, TCO, run vs. change).
  • Ensure benefits are tracked and realized post-launch.
  • Establish portfolio-level governance with integrated roadmaps, outcome metrics, and decision-ready tradeoffs.
  • Define and evolve the technical product operating model (intake, discovery, prioritization, roadmap governance, executive forums).
  • Establish clear decision rights and accountability from intake through adoption and value realization.
  • Set the bar for technical product management: role definitions, competencies, career paths, and performance expectations.
  • Lead talent strategy: hiring, coaching, performance management, and succession planning.
  • Build a community of practice with playbooks, templates, and training that reduce friction for engineering teams.
  • Lead the transition from SDLC to AIDLC within technical product management.
  • Define standards, guardrails, and playbooks for AI-enabled product practices (discovery, definition, prioritization, experimentation, learning loops).
  • Establish metrics for AIDLC effectiveness (cycle time, definition quality, adoption, realized value).
  • Partner with Engineering, Security, Data, and Architecture to ensure responsible, scalable AI adoption.
  • Identify and drive opportunities to scale BSS and Supply Chain platforms and reduce duplication.
  • Define strategy for shared capabilities (platform services, APIs, data foundations, CI/CD, observability).
  • Drive adoption with measurable impact on cost, reliability, and developer productivity.
  • Serve as a primary decision partner to BSE/CTX executives.
  • Translate complex tradeoffs into clear options, risks, and recommendations.
  • Improve execution predictability by strengthening sequencing, dependency visibility, and definition quality.
  • Raise the quality of executive product narratives (investment memos, roadmap scenarios, success metrics).
  • Bring an outside-in perspective through benchmarking and market insights.
  • Leverage vendors and partners using performance benchmarks and commercial leverage.
  • Stay current on AI-enabled product and platform practices and apply them pragmatically.

Requirements

  • 15+ years of experience in technical product management, platform product leadership, or technical portfolio leadership.
  • 7+ years leading multi-team product organizations, including operating model and org design.
  • Proven ownership of a large, multi-year product/platform portfolio, including investment planning and benefits realization.
  • Demonstrated experience modernizing product and engineering practices using AI-enabled workflows and tooling.
  • Strong financial and analytical capability: business cases, ROI, unit economics, and outcome tracking.
  • Executive presence with experience leading portfolio governance and decision forums.
  • Deep technical fluency across APIs/integration, distributed systems, cloud platforms, CI/CD, observability/SRE, data foundations, and secure SDLC.
  • Track record of improving platform leverage, reuse, reliability, and developer productivity.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
