Strong understanding of portfolio governance, planning, prioritization, capacity and resource management, KPIs, and executive reporting
Ability to establish meaningful value and performance measures and connect technology delivery with business outcomes
Strong analytical skills, with the ability to consolidate complex information on demand, capacity, delivery, risks, dependencies, and outcomes into clear insights that support decision-making
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively across business, technology, delivery teams, leadership, and external partners
Ability to identify portfolio bottlenecks, constructively challenge priorities, and facilitate trade-off and prioritization decisions across competing demands
A collaborative, structured, and results-oriented mindset, with a strong focus on transparency, accountability, continuous improvement, and measurable value.
