Responsibilities

Own the OFC Digital Portfolio Management Process: Administer and maintain the OFC Supply Chain Digital Priority List as the system of record for digital initiatives across active, inactive, completed, and future work. Manage portfolio intake processes, initiative documentation, prioritization records, governance workflows, and portfolio data standards to ensure consistent visibility across all digital initiatives.
Maintain and continuously improve portfolio artifacts including DPL Active, DPL Inactive, DPL Complete, Project Lookup, prioritization models, and supporting governance documentation that enables informed leadership decisions. The DPL workbook serves as the portfolio system of record and contains prioritization, governance, capacity, and executive review processes.
Facilitate Portfolio Prioritization and Governance Reviews: Coordinate and facilitate monthly and quarterly portfolio review sessions with OFC Supply Chain leadership and Digital Solutions management. Drive discussions regarding initiative prioritization, sequencing, resource availability, business impact, risks, dependencies, and portfolio trade-offs.
Ensure portfolio decisions are documented, communicated, and reflected in priority rankings and portfolio planning activities. Maintain governance routines that focus leadership discussions on priorities, capacity realities, and business outcomes rather than project-level status reporting. The DPL governance process includes executive reviews focused on priority confirmation, capacity discussions, trade-offs, and decision-making.
Provide Portfolio Analytics and Resource Visibility: Partner with Digital Products & Platforms, Planning & Analytics, Transformation & Change, Rapid Response, and SC Solutions team members to develop visibility into portfolio demand, resource utilization, skill constraints, and delivery capacity.
Support resource planning and capacity discussions by maintaining portfolio reporting, workload analysis, demand versus capacity views, and executive dashboards. Identify emerging risks, bottlenecks, and competing priorities before they impact project delivery and help leadership evaluate alternative sequencing options.
Support Digital Intake, Stage-Gate, and Portfolio Governance Practices: Manage the intake and evaluation process for new digital initiatives, ensuring requests are documented, reviewed, and incorporated into established governance processes. Maintain consistent portfolio standards, stage-gate processes, initiative categorization, prioritization criteria, and decision records.
Support the development and refinement of governance practices that improve portfolio transparency, prioritization discipline, and overall execution effectiveness across the Digital Solutions organization. The Portfolio & Governance pod was specifically envisioned as the governance mechanism supporting prioritization and project execution control.
