• Lead the Technology Portfolio Management and Program Office function, building the capabilities, operating mechanisms, and talent needed to manage a multi‑year product and technology portfolio.

• Establish a single, trusted view of portfolio health, delivery timelines, capacity, risks, decisions, and outcomes across the Product & Technology organization.
• Design and run portfolio governance that enables timely decisions on sequencing, investment, scope, and trade‑offs, balancing near‑term business needs with platform modernization, reliability, security, and client trust.
• Build a high‑performing team of technical program managers and portfolio‑management practitioners; set clear expectations, develop talent, and embed the team as strategic partners with product and engineering leaders.
• Create an integrated planning cadence that synchronizes product roadmaps, architecture and platform dependencies, data and AI initiatives, enterprise systems, and operational readiness.
• Improve delivery predictability by introducing lightweight, data‑driven practices for capacity planning, dependency management, risk escalation, release readiness, and executive reporting.
• Define the portfolio metrics that matter, including outcome and milestone progress, flow and cycle‑time health, delivery predictability, capacity allocation, quality, reliability, and strategic investment mix.
• Surface and resolve systemic execution blockers, including unclear ownership, cross‑team dependencies, resource constraints, architecture bottlenecks, and decision latency.
• Partner closely with Finance, Strategy & Transformation, Operations, Merchandising, Marketing, Legal, People, Security, and IT to align technology investments with enterprise priorities and operating realities.
• Advance a pragmatic, modern operating model that strengthens Jira and work‑management discipline without adding unnecessary process burden to teams.
• Model a culture of accountability, learning, inclusivity, and continuous improvement, ensuring teams can move quickly while protecting quality, stability, security, and the client experience.
