• Help reimagine how the PP&B management system operates by applying AI, experimenting with new approaches, learning from real-world use, and scaling solutions that improve organizational effectiveness.
• Partner across PP&B Alignment leaders to create consistent management practices and stronger connectivity across the organization.

Strategy, Portfolio & Planning

• Lead key components of the annual planning and budget-setting process, connecting strategic priorities with resource and investment considerations.
• Maintain an integrated view of the PP&B portfolio, including ownership, milestones, dependencies, risks and progress.
• Strengthen the end-to-end process for how emerging work moves from intake and prioritization through planning and execution.
• Surface portfolio trade-offs, competing priorities and capacity implications for leadership consideration.
• Build shared context across PP&B functions and help ensure the organization operates around a clear and connected set of priorities.

Leadership Team & Executive Enablement

• Partner closely with the Head of PP&B Alignment to support the effectiveness of the Chief PP&B Officer and PP&B leadership team.
• Develop executive-ready agendas, materials, narratives and decision support for key leadership forums.
• Anticipate emerging topics requiring leadership attention and bring structure to complex or ambiguous issues.
