About the job

As a Portfolio Operations Manager, you will play a critical role in supporting and operationalizing enterprise benefits realization frameworks. You will bridge the gap between strategy and execution by partnering with business and technology teams to define value hypotheses, establish KPIs, and translate portfolio-level strategy into execution-ready artifacts. In this role, you will execute Lean-Agile workflows, facilitate data-driven prioritization, and continuously refine our end-to-end portfolio processes to improve efficiency and business outcomes.

Minimum qualifications:

• Experience with reporting and analytics tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau).
• Experience in process execution and continuous improvement.
• Demonstrated analytical, facilitation, and communication skills.

Preferred qualifications:

• Experience with enterprise portfolio and agile tools (e.g., Clarity, Rally, Jira).
• Exposure to benefits realization frameworks and Objective & Key Result (OKR) models.
• SAFe certification or comparable portfolio management training.
• Proven ability to synthesize complex data, manage resources, and develop strategic insights.
• Demonstrated thought leadership with the ability to independently drive strategic initiatives and champion innovative solutions.
• Strong ability to present compelling arguments to inspire action and influence decisions that drive functional success.

Responsibilities:

• Value Management & Benefits Realization: Support enterprise benefits realization frameworks (tracking, validation, reporting); execute value measurement processes connecting delivery outputs to business outcomes; and ensure consistency of value data across tools like Clarity and BI reporting.
• Portfolio Operations Execution: Execute and improve Lean-Agile portfolio workflows (intake, demand management, prioritization, execution tracking); maintain portfolio operating practices, SOPs, and templates; and serve as a subject matter expert for user adoption.
• Prioritization & OKR Alignment: Facilitate prioritization processes by preparing data, insights, and trade-off scenarios; assist teams in defining and refining OKRs tied to strategic themes.
• Reporting & Decision Support: Develop and maintain dashboards tracking value realization, delivery performance, and strategic progress; provide data-driven insights to leadership and governance forums.
• Process Design & Improvement: Identify workflow and tool inefficiencies; recommend and drive continuous improvements through feedback loops and metrics; establish processes to evaluate project requirements and manage interrelated programs.
• Change Management & Enablement: Support the rollout of new portfolio practices via training materials, job aids, playbooks, and Communities of Practice (CoP).
• Cross-Functional Partnership: Collaborate seamlessly across teams and Portfolio Governance units; set performance-driven goals across groups; and leverage diverse expertise to develop strategies in cross-functional projects.
