• Translate strategic priorities into executable plans with clear milestones and accountability.

• Drive transparency, accountability, and alignment throughout the technology organization.
• Coordinate the enterprise technology and AI portfolio across the architecture organization, ensuring initiatives are sequenced, resourced, and governed against measurable business outcomes.
• Support the company's transformation toward agentic-driven workflows — partnering with technology and business leaders to identify, prioritize, and scale opportunities to embed AI, automation, and advanced analytics into how the business runs.
• Partner with the architecture organization on roadmap, evaluation gates, and rollout planning — the architects own the technical strategy in their domains; you own the operating cadence and cross-team alignment around it.
• Translate technical progress into business-facing milestones, and help business leaders surface use cases worth investing in.
• Stay current on emerging AI, data, and product technologies, competitive developments, and industry trends, and maintain enough fluency in the stack to pressure-test plans and represent the work to the executive team.
• Own the annual technology budgeting process, including operating expenses, capital expenditures, and strategic investment planning.

• Establish and run the operating cadence for the technology organization — quarterly planning, monthly business reviews, roadmap governance, and executive reporting — with clear inputs, owners, and decisions at each step.
• Own governance of the technology portfolio: prioritization, resourcing, dependencies, milestones, and the decision log that ties them together.
• Hold technology leaders and cross-functional partners accountable for commitments, surfacing slippage and resource constraints early enough to act on them.
• Serve as the central coordination point for cross-functional initiatives, and prepare the executive-level communications, dashboards, and business reviews that come out of them.
• Drive continuous improvement of how the technology organization plans, executes, and reports.
• Serve as a key liaison between the CTO, executive leadership team, and business stakeholders.
• Facilitate decision-making by providing analysis, recommendations, and strategic insights.
• Build strong relationships across departments to drive collaboration and alignment.
