In this role, you will: Portfolio strategy, investment, and operating model Lead the portfolio operating model across multiple EFT and adjacent business/CIO portfolios; set strategy, OKRs, and the portfolio guardrails that drive enterprise outcomes.

Design multi‑horizon roadmaps (annual/rolling) with scenario and capacity modeling; align funding, talent, vendor strategy, and risk appetite with delivery commitments. Execution excellence at enterprise scale Standardize and enforce playbooks (intake → prioritization → delivery → adoption → stabilization) across CIO and business groups; drive throughput, cycle‑time, and quality improvements measurable at the enterprise level. Run capacity & pipeline planning across interdependent workstreams; re‑balance in‑year based on outcomes, constraints, and emerging risk. Set the cadence for executive routines; clear systemic blockers (org, tech, vendor, approvals) and hold leaders accountable for outcomes, not activities. Decision enablement & executive engagement Design and deliver executive‑grade decision packets with options, impacts, recommendations, and decision logs; pre‑wire with CFO/COO/CIO partners to accelerate decisions. Publish a single source of truth for portfolio health (schedule, scope, cost, benefits, risk, adoption) with forward‑looking recommendations that drive timely trade‑offs. Cross‑portfolio orchestration & dependency management Maintain an integrated cross‑portfolio dependency map across CIO groups and business lines; anticipate conflicts, negotiate sequencing, and protect critical timelines. Coordinate enterprise cutovers and stabilization; manage operational readiness and hypercare for high‑risk launches. Talent, leadership, and community of practice Lead and coach a matrixed bench of program managers, BAs, and vendor partners; raise the bar on planning quality, risk narratives, data storytelling, and delivery discipline.
