About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own portfolio investment strategy and prioritization for the BSE department’s portfolio of products (including supporting platforms and shared services), balancing value, economics, risk, and dependencies.
Standardize business cases and ROI narratives (unit economics, cost-to-serve, TCO, run vs. change) and ensure benefits are tracked post-launch.
Establish portfolio-level visibility and governance: integrated roadmaps, outcome metrics, leading indicators, and decision-ready tradeoff recommendations.
Own and continuously evolve the technical product operating model across BSE—including intake, discovery, prioritization, roadmap governance, and executive decision forums—ensuring strong alignment with CTX Product Leadership.
Establish clear decision rights and end-to-end accountability from intake through adoption and realized value.
Set the bar for technical product management: role definitions, competencies, career architecture, and performance expectations.
Lead the talent strategy: hiring, coaching, performance management, and succession planning to build a durable bench of product leaders in BSE.
Drive AI adoption across the technical product management function to enable the transition from SDLC to AIDLC.
Define standards, guardrails, and playbooks for AI-enabled product practices (e.g., AI-supported discovery, requirements/acceptance criteria, backlog quality, experiment design, and post-launch learning loops).
Serve as a primary decision partner to BSE/CTX executives by framing complex tradeoffs into clear options, implications, risks, and recommendations.
