Develop leadership-ready scorecards, executive narratives, decision briefs, presentations, and progress updates using consistent definitions and validated information.

Maintain portfolio-level RAID and dependency views, identify emerging trends and cross-functional blockers, and coordinate mitigations and escalation paths.

Support annual and in-year planning by consolidating priorities, aligning timelines, identifying interdependencies, and establishing measurement baselines.

Conduct ad hoc portfolio analysis, including capacity assessments, scenario evaluations, prioritization trade-offs, and decision-support recommendations.

Maintain reporting trackers, dashboards, templates, documentation repositories, and other portfolio-management tools.

Use Excel, dashboarding platforms, collaboration tools, and AI-enabled productivity solutions to accelerate reporting and insight generation while validating outputs and documenting methodologies.

Create and maintain a program-management playbook containing templates, standard operating procedures, governance guidance, definitions, and onboarding resources.

Coach initiative owners and contributors on project-management standards, reporting expectations, and governance practices.

Facilitate retrospectives and recommend improvements to governance, reporting, automation, documentation, and operating rhythms.

Promote consistent terminology, reporting standards, and documentation practices across initiatives and stakeholder groups.

Experience using Power BI or another business-intelligence and dashboarding platform.

Experience using SharePoint, Teams, or comparable collaboration and document-management platforms.

Demonstrated ability to work independently, organize ambiguous work, establish operating structure, and drive follow-through without direct authority.

Strong written, verbal, facilitation, and executive-presentation skills.

High attention to detail and a demonstrated ability to ensure that reports, metrics, and leadership communications are accurate and consistent.

Experience partnering with senior leaders, initiative owners, technical teams, and cross-functional stakeholders.

Ability to manage competing priorities and facilitate alignment around scope, sequencing, ownership, and resource trade-offs.
