Integrated Performance & Strategy Execution

ROLE SUMMARY

The ideal candidate will integrate information from across the Division, including strategy, portfolio and PMO data, finance, workforce, risk and controls, and operational performance, into a single view for the Co-CIOs and the Technology Leadership Team. Determines what it means (whether work is aligned to strategy, where interdependencies and risks are building, where capacity and investment don’t match priorities, and whether intended outcomes are being achieved) and recommends what leadership should do. Authors the executive, Board, Management Committee and Head Office content, and the analysis behind the monthly TLT, the Group portfolio reviews and the Quarterly Business Review. Consumes portfolio, PMO and finance data; does not own or manage the portfolio, project data or governance. The ideal candidate will work alongside Technology Operations (budget, headcount, vendors, GRC, demand and capacity), Tech PMO Governance, the Group Portfolio Managers and the Office of Strategic Advisory (target state and value case). The Executive Office reports outcomes and key results across all programs; it does not own project data or portfolio governance.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Integrated executive reporting and analysis (≈40%)

• Assemble an integrated view of Divisional health across strategy, portfolio, finance, workforce, risk and operations. Surface dependencies, conflicts, overlaps and gaps across all work types.
• Assess whether strategic priorities and pillars are linked to programs, projects, planned outcomes and key results, and report where they are not. Feed performance back into the annual strategy cycle.
• Prepare integrated views and recommendations (continue, accelerate, re-sequence, combine, pause or stop) for Leadership Team discussion. Record each disposition and track it to closure.
• Consume portfolio and PMO data from Tech PMO Governance and the Group Portfolio Managers. Link to authoritative sources rather than recreating them.
• Report performance against strategic goals for diverse audiences: executive stakeholders (Management Committee, Board, Head Office), the Co-CIO, the Technology Leadership Team, and expanded Divisional Leadership.
• Produce the Weekly Executive Brief, the Monthly Group Portfolio Report and Quarterly Business Review report, and Board, Management Committee and Head Office materials.
• Produce the monthly thematic analysis for the Technology Leadership Team: strategy-to-execution alignment, interdependencies, risks, capacity and investment, outcomes and value, and governance follow-through. Explain the gap, give the “so what,” and state the decision or action needed.
• Reconcile inputs from Group and Tower leads, Finance, HR, GRC and the portfolio and PMO functions. Surface contradictions rather than smoothing them over. Show unknowns (owner, baseline, target) as TBD, never as Green.
• Support presentations on Technology initiatives for executive and leadership forums: storyline, content, data and “so what.”

2. Review cadence: monthly Group portfolio reviews and Quarterly Business Reviews (≈30%)

• Run the reporting cycle behind the monthly Group portfolio review and the Quarterly Business Review, covering operational health, functional performance, program status against plan, finance, workforce, risk and value.
• Define metrics, baselines, templates and calendars. Set reporting standards and hold contributors to them.
• Work with Functional Leads, Group Portfolio Managers and Business Managers to source, validate and sustain the content.
• Maintain the decision and action registers for leadership forums and follow open items through to closure.

3. Reporting infrastructure: AI, automation and integrated solutions (≈20%)

• Partner on the ServiceNow move and backbone (data model, source links, executive views). Use AI-supported quality control to reduce manual preparation.
• Apply a change and adoption lens to material initiatives.

4. Select initiatives and subject matter expert support (≈10%)

• Contribute to ad hoc, cross-functional initiatives on problems that don’t have a natural home elsewhere in the Division.
• Stand up new capabilities from the ground up (as with the reporting function itself), carrying them from interim to target state.
• Serve as an internal expert on AI-enabled executive reporting and analysis and on organizational effectiveness.
• Partner with Tech PMO Governance and other groups on metrics design and executive communication.

BOUNDARIES This role supports the Executive Office’s reporting and review cadence. It does not oversee other leaders’ functions or performance, and it consumes PMO and portfolio data rather than owning it. Work owners retain outcome and delivery accountability. Role does not support budget, capacity management, demand or finance processes.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

• Demonstrated authorship of Board, Management Committee or C-suite content that links strategy to execution and experience building recurring management reporting or business reviews.
• Change management experience, and the ability to influence and excite colleagues about a new journey, with no formal authority over them.
• Sound judgment with confidential and politically sensitive information.
• Proficiency in AI models, including agent-build, and in Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint and ServiceNow
• Experience working in complex, matrixed environments.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.

Preferred

• Strong AI-enablement skills, including reporting automation, and the ability to replace manual processes with intelligent, integrated technology solutions.
