About The Position

As a Senior Portfolio Manager, you ensure leadership makes the right decisions by translating complex execution into clear, usable context. You will be accountable for managing a portion of the portfolio spanning AI-driven capabilities, data and interoperability, developer platforms, and the underlying infrastructure that keeps the platform secure, reliable, and globally available. You aren't here to manage mechanics or move data around; you are here to understand the strategy and the work deeply enough to connect roadmap reality to business outcomes, surfacing the hard truths that leaders need to hear to make the platform viable and adoptable.

Requirements

7-10 years leading project, program, or portfolio management in high-stakes, complex technical environments.
3-5 years having direct accountability within a portfolio of $150M+ investment scope with a proven track record of delivering business outcomes, not just tracking tasks.
2+ years of direct accountability for portfolio investment health based on quantitative financial KPIs, such as labor costs, margin protection, and ROI, to drive prioritization for a major business unit
Direct participation in portfolio, prioritization, and/or strategic planning processes for organizations with 7K+ employees.
Proven ability to engage directly with VPs to raise risks and drive difficult tradeoff discussions.

Nice To Haves

Experience building or turning around a portfolio function from scratch, including the operating model and data strategy.
Experience operating in transformation or turnaround environments where portfolio clarity and decision-making were critical to success.
Airtable and JIRA power user experience, including building and managing complex workflows, data models, and reporting

Responsibilities

Support leaders to make high-stakes decisions: Frame the context for tradeoff decisions and make the tradeoffs explicit, even when the implications are uncomfortable.
Check reality: Get to the truth of progress hiding behind status reports; identify where execution is drifting from strategy before it becomes a crisis.
Surface the right signals: Be accountable for building and improving the tools and workflows needed to get the truth in front of leaders at the right time.
Protect the investments: Apply financial and strategic context to connect portfolio decisions to long-term viability and innovation, not just short-term status.
AI-enabled execution: Use internal AI tools to automate portfolio workflows, generate insights, and connect data across systems as a core part of how the work gets done.
