The Vice President of the Business Management Office (BMO) is a strategic enterprise leader responsible for the integrated governance of technology demand, investment, architecture alignment, delivery performance, and the span of control over all relevant Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and internal teams within IT. This role functions as the operational “engine room” of IT - ensuring technology initiatives are intentional, prioritized, financially disciplined, and executed in alignment with enterprise strategy.

A defining responsibility of this role is leadership of Enterprise Demand Management: establishing a clear, transparent “front door” for all technology requests and guiding ideas from business concept through structured evaluation, approval, and execution readiness.

Core Responsibilities

• Enterprise Intake Design:
  Design and lead a single, enterprise-wide intake process for all technology requests, providing transparency and consistency across business units.
• Qualification & Triage:
  Establish clear criteria to categorize demand (e.g., strategic initiatives, run-the-business, service requests, maintenance) and route work to the appropriate delivery path.
• Lifecycle Governance:
  Oversee the demand-lifecycle from initial ideation and high-level sizing through business case development and executive approval.
• Prioritization & Scoring:
  Implement a data-driven scoring framework that evaluates requests based on strategic alignment, ROI, risk, architectural fit, and regulatory considerations.
• Capacity Alignment:
  Orchestrate supply-and-demand balance to ensure approved initiatives align with available funding, skills, and delivery capacity.
• Consolidated Demand Management:
  Implement a unified demand management approach to ensure integrated entities after M&A operate cohesively and efficiently, maximizing resource utilization and strategic alignment.

• PMO Capability and Scaling:
  Instantiate and scale the PMO function by strategically mobilizing a blend of internal staff and external contractor resources to meet organizational needs.
• Delivery Framework Governance:
  Establish and govern delivery standards across Agile, Waterfall, and Hybrid methodologies.
• Execution Oversight:
  Provide portfolio-level visibility into schedule, scope, cost, and risk - without displacing delivery accountability from program leaders.
• Value Realization:
  Implement post-implementation reviews to assess whether initiatives delivered the business value defined during intake.

• Strategic Roadmap Enablement:
  Govern the development and maintenance of the multi-year technology roadmap, ensuring it evolves with business strategy and market conditions.
• Portfolio Oversight:
  Lead portfolio governance forums to monitor initiative health, surface risks, and recommend investment pivots as conditions change.
• Investment Transparency:
  Maintain enterprise-level visibility into portfolio costs, values, and risks across both CAPEX and OPEX.
• Shadow IT Management:
  Identify, manage, and eliminate any shadow IT functions within IT and business lines wherever possible, ensuring appropriate reporting exists for IT controls effectiveness and enforcement.

• Architectural Guardrails:
  Ensure consistent application of enterprise architecture standards and principles across new demand.
• Architecture Review Facilitation:
  Chair or facilitate the Architecture Review Board (ARB), ensuring decisions align with strategic, fiscal, security, and scalability…
