Large Scale IT Portfolio Lead

PMO Transformation Project Lead (IT Portfolio)

• Drive project execution, prioritization, and portfolio reporting
• Evaluate and enhance key business processes (e.g., quote-to-cash)
• Partner with senior stakeholders to present findings and drive alignment

Day-to-Day

• Conduct stakeholder interviews and workshops
• Document current-state workflows and processes
• Manage active IT projects and status reporting
• Build transformation roadmaps and executive presentations
• Track risks, dependencies, and portfolio health

Qualifications

Must-Have:

• Experience managing multiple IT projects in large enterprise environments
• Background in large-scale IT or business transformation
• Experience improving enterprise processes (e.g., quote-to-cash)
• Strong stakeholder engagement and communication skills

Nice-to-Have:

• PMO transformation or consulting experience

Details
