Responsibilities
  • Own and maintain the ISRM portfolio management framework, including standards for intake, prioritization, scheduling, and dependency tracking, and ensure an accurate and continuously updated view of the full portfolio across active projects, planned initiatives, and the demand pipeline.
  • Own and deliver executive-facing portfolio dashboards, status reports, and portfolio data products that provide ISRM leadership with an accurate, timely, and complete view of portfolio health, financials, and delivery performance.
  • Own and coordinate ISRM's annual portfolio planning process, including Long-Range Planning (LRP) and Capital Plan submissions, managing timelines, stakeholder inputs, and submission requirements; partner with the Senior Advisor, Information Security Strategy & Analytics who leads development of strategic content and investment rationale.
  • Identify and surface portfolio-level risks, dependencies, and resource constraints; facilitate prioritization decisions and escalation pathways with ISRM leadership.
  • Build and maintain a departmental service catalog to ensure consistent documentation of services and engagement methodologies.
  • Lead, manage, and develop a team of project and program managers within the ISRM PMO, providing coaching, performance oversight, career development support, and resource planning to ensure PMs are appropriately assigned and supported to deliver against portfolio commitments.
  • Establish and continuously improve PMO standards, methodologies, and delivery governance frameworks to ensure consistent and effective project execution across ISRM.
  • Ensure project and program managers maintain accurate and consistent project-level financial tracking, including budget consumption and capital and expense classification, in partnership with ISRM finance who governs financial reporting standards and reports portfolio financials to leadership.
  • Serve as the primary escalation point for project delivery issues, facilitating resolution of blockers, risks, and cross-functional dependencies.
  • Partner closely with the Senior Advisor, Information Security Strategy & Analytics to ensure portfolio data, planning outputs, and delivery insights are accurate, accessible, and structured to support strategic decision-making and executive communications.


Qualifications
  • Bachelor's Degree and 8 years of experience OR Master's Degree and 7 years of experience OR PhD and 3 years of experience.
  • Minimum of 4 years of experience in portfolio management, PMO leadership, or a closely related discipline within a large, complex organization, including a demonstrated track record of managing and developing high-performing project or program management teams.
  • Demonstrated experience managing a multi-million-dollar IT or cyber/information security portfolio, including oversight of project-level budget tracking and capital and expense planning in partnership with a dedicated financial management function.
  • Proven ability to design and deliver executive-level portfolio reporting that clearly communicates status, risks, and financial performance to senior leadership and governance audiences.
  • Strong experience with enterprise PPM tools (e.g., Clarity, Jira, or equivalent).
  • Solid understanding of project and program management methodologies (e.g., PMI, Agile, SAFe) and how they apply in a portfolio context.
  • Excellent cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills, with demonstrated ability to lead and develop a team while also influencing without authority across diverse teams and organizational levels.

Preferred:
  • Experience in portfolio or program management within an Information Security, Cybersecurity, or IT Risk function.
  • Familiarity with information security terminology, operations, and frameworks (e.g., NIST CSF, ISO 27001, Zero Trust).
  • PMP, PfMP, or equivalent portfolio/project management certification.
  • Experience supporting globally distributed teams and stakeholders.
  • Experience establishing or maturing a PMO function, including defining operating models, governance structures, and delivery standards.
