About the role

  • Synthesize strategies across sub‑portfolios to reveal interdependencies, risks, and opportunities.
  • Partner with Corporate Strategy and Strategic Risk Management on strategic analyses and projects that shape portfolio direction.
  • Lead quarterly cross‑portfolio resourcing reviews, delivering clear demand‑vs‑capacity views, trade‑offs, and portfolio‑level allocation decisions.
  • Run an integrated intake, sizing, and validation process (e.g., T‑shirt sizing, capacity checks) with Program Management and Engineering, ensuring decisions are reflected in systems of record.
  • Own product inputs to annual budgeting, long-term plan (LTP), and the 5‑year outlook, translating strategic priorities into consolidated resourcing and capacity requirements.
  • Maintain a repeatable assessment framework: market signals, customer value, velocity, quality, and financials; to inform continue/accelerate/pause recommendations.
  • Produce comparative analyses across org-level product portfolios to guide senior‑level prioritization.
  • Define and run the governance cadence linking discovery, strategy, execution, and shipping.
  • Integrate Engineering, Design, and PMO rhythms to maintain a single source of truth for portfolio roadmaps and dependencies.
  • Drive roadmap and artifact quality standards, ensuring high‑fidelity data in systems of record.
  • Collaborate to implement a unified roadmap tool and continually improve supporting practices, templates, and workflows.
  • Coach teams on decision‑ready artifacts and executive‑level storytelling; escalate gaps and remove blockers to preserve portfolio flow.

Requirements

  • 10+ years in product operations, portfolio management, or adjacent disciplines (e.g., Program/Portfolio PMO), with demonstrable impact across complex, multiproduct portfolios.
  • Proven expertise in establishing governance cadences, integrating cross-functional planning (Product/Eng/Design/PMO), and driving executive decision forums.
  • Advanced proficiency with portfolio analytics and performance measurement (KSIs, KPIs, OKRs) and translating insights into action.
  • Proven experience solving complex problems with multiple constraints, using sound judgment to assess risks and present well-structured, data-informed written arguments.
  • Skilled in identifying key data and metrics necessary for decision-making and understanding the implications of their movement.
  • Strong communication and storytelling abilities, with a talent for articulating complex concepts to diverse stakeholders.
  • Experience leading through influence, driving results cross-functionally without a team of direct reports.
