Partner with Finance to manage portfolio financial discipline, including budget, forecast, actuals, variance analysis, funding movement, labor and non-labor spend, capitalization, vendor spend, contract commitments, and financial risks.

Manage cross-domain dependencies across business, product, engineering, architecture, analytics, data, digital platforms, security, operations, vendors, and enterprise teams.
Identify portfolio gaps, duplicated work, delivery risks, data dependencies, integration risks, financial variances, contract risks, roadmap conflicts, and execution blockers, then drive corrective action with accountable owners.
Prepare leadership-ready materials, including portfolio health reports, financial summaries, roadmap views, dependency assessments, risk summaries, QBR materials, value realization updates, and decision packages.
Coach and influence stakeholders on Lean Portfolio Management practices, Jira Align hygiene, dependency management, financial accountability, risk escalation, governance discipline, and executive-ready communication.
