• Lead recurring portfolio reviews and Steer Co reporting, translating complex program data into clear executive-level insights and recommendations
• Drive end-to-end project management for new and inflight AI platform initiatives kicking off this month and through the remainder of the fiscal year
• Manage dependencies across technology, data, and business teams to ensure on-time, on-budget delivery
• Escalate blockers proactively and facilitate resolution across cross-functional teams
• Serve as the primary point of contact for portfolio-level status across IT, business, and vendor stakeholders
• Facilitate working sessions, alignment meetings, and executive briefings with clarity and confidence
• Build and maintain strong relationships with internal technology partners, platform owners, and business stakeholders
• Draft executive communications, status updates, and governance materials that are accurate, concise, and audience-appropriate
• Support the development and evolution of the enterprise Data & AI roadmap in partnership with the Digital Strategy & Innovation leadership team
• Translate high-level strategic priorities into sequenced, executable delivery plans with clear milestones and ownership
• Identify gaps in capacity, capability, or process that could impede portfolio delivery and recommend corrective actions
• Contribute to Data & AI portfolio planning cycles, including annual planning, resource modeling, and investment prioritization

What You'll Bring –

Required:

• 8+ years of experience in IT portfolio management, program management, or technology strategy consulting
• 3 + experience managing complex, multi-workstream technology programs with cross-functional stakeholders
• Intermediate proficiency of agile (SAFe, Scrum) delivery methodology
• 3 + years' experience developing and maintaining executive-level governance reporting, dashboards, and portfolio health metrics
• Advanced written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present to senior and C-suite audiences

What Makes You Stand Out – Preferred:

• Experience working in the energy, oil & gas, or industrials sector
• Familiarity with enterprise AI platforms, AI governance frameworks, or AI-enhanced program delivery models
• Proven ability to build and maintain stakeholder relationships across IT, business, and vendor organizations
