Portfolio Strategist - Modernization portfolio

Kyndryl • Rye Brook, NY

21h

About The Position

At Kyndryl, we design, build, manage and modernize the mission-critical technology systems that the world depends on every day. The role of a Portfolio Strategist involves taking a proposition from an idea to a fully developed offering that a consultant can sell. This includes managing the proposition lifecycle, ensuring quality standards, and orchestrating contributions from various teams. The focus for this role is the Modernization portfolio, which includes propositions that help clients modernize their core technology estate (applications, data, infrastructure, mainframe, and cloud).

Requirements

• Experience in offering or product strategy, product marketing, proposition development, or a consulting role that involved building and launching a repeatable offer.
• Ability to run a structured lifecycle or stage-gate process and hold people to it without stalling them.
• Strong written craft — ability to turn a technical capability into something a client would want to buy.
• Ability to orchestrate senior contributors across functions with no authority over them.
• Comfort working to a date, with several propositions live at once.
• Enough technical fluency to hold a credible conversation with practice experts about what an offer really does.
• Familiarity with enterprise modernization programs is a strong advantage.

Nice To Haves

• Background at a large consulting, professional services or technology services firm.
• Domain depth in the relevant portfolio — enterprise modernization.
• Experience with commercial and pricing inputs to an offer.
• Experience with competitive positioning and win/loss analysis.

Responsibilities

• Take assigned propositions through the full lifecycle — intake, build, gate reviews, launch and refresh — on a schedule.
• Build and quality-check the toolkit each proposition launches with: the client-facing narrative, qualification guidance, proof points, competitive positioning and the commercial inputs.
• Orchestrate contributing teams under one brief and keep them moving to a shared date.
• Prepare gate reviews and ensure nothing advances a stage without documented sign-off.
• Run the quarterly refresh cycle for propositions and close the loop from learnings in wins and losses.
• Watch the portfolio for overlap, white space and offers that should be retired, and bring recommendations to the Executive Portfolio Strategist.
• Work closely with the narrative, enablement, commercial and operations teams.

Benefits

• Access to the best learning in the industry to receive certifications, including Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Skillsoft, and many more.
• Company-wide volunteering and giving platform to donate, start fundraisers, volunteer, and search over 2 million non-profit organizations.
• Benefits that give you choice, reflect the diversity of our employees and support you and your family through the moments that matter.
