Job Description Summary

Strategy & Operations (StratOps) is a newly established function within the Office of the Chief Operating and Financial Officer (COFO). It helps Enterprise prioritize, resource, govern, and deliver its most important cross-divisional work — bringing together project management, portfolio management, execution, and resource allocation in one place, without replacing division or Shared Services ownership. StratOps focuses the organization on a defined set of strategic priorities that require coordination, tradeoffs, and sustained execution.

Job Description

It has three areas of focus: Enterprise PMO: Leads enterprise prioritization and portfolio management, drives implementation of the Strategic Plan, and leads enterprise-wide special projects. Innovation Fund: Governs how Enterprise invests capital from an internal innovation fund to bring its most promising mission-driven ideas to scale. Shared Services PMO: Provides portfolio management, project management, and execution support across Enterprise’s corporate Shared Services functions — such as Finance, Treasury, IT, and Enterprise Risk Management.

Based in New York, this is a hybrid role. The Director, Enterprise PMO leads the Enterprise PMO vertical within Enterprise’s new Strategy & Operations function and is responsible for enterprise prioritization, portfolio management, and the systems and processes that translate strategy into structured, actionable work. Supporting the function’s leader in driving Strategic Plan delivery, the Director runs the operating cadence that keeps implementation on track — maintaining an enterprise-wide view of execution, surfacing risks, tradeoffs, and decisions, and preparing the function to update the Strategic Leadership Council (quarterly) and the COFO, CEO, and Executive Leadership Team (regularly) on progress and where action is needed. This role calls for someone who can operate at the enterprise level, shape priorities and tradeoffs, and bring the judgment to navigate ambiguity, while also building the systems and rhythms that turn strategy into execution. Working within the frameworks owned by the function’s leader, we are looking for someone with the entrepreneurial drive to operationalize and scale them — building, testing, and continuously refining the tools, systems, and operating rhythms that bring them to life. The role also provides hands‑on support and leads select enterprise‑wide initiatives and special projects.

Responsibilities

• Lead the enterprise prioritization and portfolio management process across initiatives
• Build the tools, systems, and processes that facilitate prioritization and portfolio management
• Prepare quarterly strategy reporting for Strategic Leadership Council meetings — reviewing progress of strategy implementation against the Strategic Plan and facilitating portfolio decisions

• Serve as people manager for shared execution resources, deploying capacity in alignment with the department leader’s priorities across the function’s work
• Oversee execution across select high-priority, cross-divisional special projects, including driving adoption and change management where needed
