About the role

We are looking for a Lead IT Portfolio and Performance to act as the right-hand to the Chief Digitalization and Information Officer (CDIO) and run the IT execution engine. The role turns strategy into measurable outcomes through strong governance, disciplined follow-through, and a clear performance cadence.

You will work closely with IT leadership, business stakeholders, and enabling functions (Compliance, Finance, People) to ensure priorities are clear, decisions are well-prepared, and delivery is consistent and transparent. This is a high-trust role with broad visibility-part advisor, part execution leader-ensuring strategic priorities translate into delivered results.

What you will do

You will drive results through strategy execution, governance, portfolio oversight, process excellence, and compliance coordination.

Strategy execution & planning cadence

* Translate IT strategy into roadmaps, OKRs/KPIs, and quarterly/annual execution plans.

* Run the planning rhythm (annual planning, QBRs, prioritization cycles, progress checkpoints).

Governance & performance management

* Design and run governance forums (roadmap review, project portfolio review, etc...).

* Establish outcome-based performance reporting that leaders use.

* Drive accountability through clear owners, timelines, dependencies, and decision logs.

IT portfolio & value management (as applicable)

* Maintain portfolio transparency: what we do, why, cost/capacity, benefits, risk, and dependencies.

* Run the IT Board Prepare, structure, and facilitate IT Board decisions on product and initiative investments, changes, and decommissioning.

* Support product lifecycle management

Partner with Product Managers across the full lifecycle - from intake and evolution to rationalization and end‑of‑life - ensuring clarity on scope, cost, and ownership.

* Ensure TCO and investment discipline

Make total cost of ownership visible and optimised, including run, change, licenses, services, and future cost implications.

Operating model & process standardization

* Manages the IT & Data Playbook which describes our ways-of-working.

* Define and continuously improve core IT ways of working (demand management, stakeholder management, lifecycle management, portfolio management, incidents, development, etc...).

* Standardize templates, routines, and metrics to improve quality, predictability, and speed.

* Drive pragmatic continuous improvement (minimum bureaucracy, maximum clarity).

Quality, compliance & risk coordination

* Ensure IT practices align with regulations and internal policies (including data privacy requirements).

* Partner with Security, Risk and Compliance to embed controls in delivery and operations.

* Support audit readiness through clear evidence, ownership, and remediation tracking.

What success looks like (first 6-12 months)

* A smooth execution cadence is in place across planning, governance, reporting, and follow-up.

* IT priorities are transparent, aligned, and actively managed (including trade-offs and dependencies).

* Leadership decisions are faster because they are well-prepared and data-driven.

* Standardized ways of working improve predictability, quality, and delivery follow-through.

* Compliance is embedded in processes rather than handled as last-minute checks.
