About The Position

Join the leader in entertainment innovation and help us design the future. At Dolby, science meets art, and high tech means more than computer code. As a member of the Dolby team, you’ll see and hear the results of your work everywhere, from movie theaters to smartphones. We continue to revolutionize how people create, deliver, and enjoy entertainment worldwide. To do that, we need the absolute best talent. We’re big enough to give you all the resources you need, and small enough so you can make a real difference and earn recognition for your work. We offer a collegial culture, challenging projects, and excellent compensation and benefits, not to mention a Flex Work approach that is truly flexible to support where, when, and how you do your best work. The Finance & IT function works to accelerate business growth through ensuring that the company’s operations run efficiently and effectively, ultimately enabling the achievement of company goals. Your Opportunity We are seeking a senior, strategic leader to establish and lead Dolby’s Technology Value Realization Office (VRO) - a critical capability responsible for ensuring that enterprise-wide technology investments deliver clear, measurable, and sustained business value. This role plays a central part in defining how technology investments are evaluated, governed, funded, prioritized, and measured across Dolby. Working in close partnership with the CIO, IT Leadership Team, Finance, and business leaders, the Value Realization Leader ensures that technology initiatives are grounded in outcomes, aligned to Dolby’s priorities, and held accountable for results - not just delivery. This role will create transparency into where dollars are invested, what value is expected and delivered, and how technology initiatives support Dolby’s strategic objectives. The leader will establish a single source of truth for investment value, benefits realization, ROI, and performance metrics across all initiatives. Our Ideal Candidate This is a critical leadership position for a strategic thinker with a passion for turning technology transformation into measurable, business‑relevant results and for embedding value realization as a core enterprise capability. The ideal candidate understands how technology strategy, service portfolios, and investment decisions come together to drive business outcomes. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, influencing senior leaders, and balancing competing priorities across the enterprise. You bring strong business and financial acumen, are adept at translating strategy into actionable roadmaps, and can establish lightweight but effective governance that enables, not slows, decision making. You are viewed as a trusted advisor who helps leaders make informed trade-offs across initiatives, services, and spend.
