Job Description
Position Summary
The Portfolio Leader is a senior leadership role within the newly elevated, value-oriented PMO. This individual oversees a portfolio of strategic programs and projects aligned to the Digital Technology (DT) leader for Connected Customer Experience (CCx). This individual leads a team of Program and Project Managers, engages directly with senior leaders in the portfolio as well as their stakeholders, and ensures delivery efforts are tightly aligned to organizational value, business outcomes, and executive priorities.
This role goes beyond traditional project oversight. The Portfolio Leader is a strategic advisor and partner to business and technology stakeholders, a coach and mentor to the delivery team, and a champion for portfolio-level thinking that connects day-to-day execution to long-term organizational goals.
Why This Role Exists
The PMO is evolving from a coordination and reporting function into a high-impact, value-delivery engine. The Portfolio Leader is central to this transformation as it owns portfolio health, driving delivery excellence, and ensuring that every program and project under their purview earns its place based on strategic value and measurable outcomes.

• Manage team capacity and allocation across the portfolio, balancing workload with delivery quality.

Delivery Excellence & Value Realization

• Ensure programs and projects are delivered on time, within budget, and with measurable impact on business outcomes.
• Drive adoption of value-focused delivery practices, including benefits tracking, value KPIs, and outcome-based reporting.
• Champion a shift from activity-based reporting (status/milestones) to value-based reporting (outcomes/impact).
• Continuously evaluate portfolio ROI and recommend rebalancing, acceleration, or decommissioning of initiatives.

Stakeholder Engagement & Communication

• Serve as the primary escalation point for portfolio-level and any relevant cross-functional program/project issues and stakeholder conflicts.
• Build and sustain strong relationships with business owners, technology partners, and executive sponsors.
• Enhance portfolio storytelling by translating complex portfolio dynamics into clear, executive-ready narratives and recommendations.
• Facilitate and support portfolio reviews, steering committees, and investment decision forums that support continuous planning.

PMO Elevation & Continuous Improvement

• Contribute to the strategic evolution of the PMO, shaping maturity and delivery.
• Identify and drive process improvements that increase delivery velocity, reduce friction, and improve team effectiveness.
