Core Responsibilities 1. Strategic Portfolio Governance & Leadership · Oversee the Portfolio Management in defining and executing the Data Center Systems portfolio roadmap, ensuring alignment with Schneider Electric’s global strategy, customer needs, and market trends. · Set cross-portfolio priorities, balance resource allocation between innovation (e.g., 3Phase UPS, Batteries, Power conversion) and sustainment initiatives, and approve budget allocations to optimize ROI. · Establish governance frameworks for Offer Lifecycle Management, ensuring rigorous milestone reviews, investment viability assessments, and cross-functional alignment (Marketing, R&D, Supply Chain, Finance). 2. Execution Excellence & Agile Scaling · Lead a global team of Agile Project Managers (APM), providing mentorship and guidance to ensure consistent adoption of Agile principles across Squads. · Drive cross-project execution excellence by resolving interdependencies, monitoring global roadmaps, and ensuring seamless synchronization of Product Increment (PI) releases with portfolio goals. · Enforce standardized Agile practices (e.g., daily stand-ups, retrospectives) and tool usage (JIRA, dashboards) while empowering APMs to adapt frameworks to squad-specific needs. 3. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Management · Act as the primary interface between the PMO, executive leadership, and business units, translating strategic objectives into actionable portfolio and execution plans. · Lead cross-functional governance meetings to align stakeholders on trade-offs, risk mitigation, and priority adjustments, escalating critical issues to senior leadership as needed. · Foster a culture of transparency through regular reporting on portfolio performance, execution velocity, and strategic KPIs (e.g., time-to-market, predictability metrics). 4. Risk, Budget, and Resource Management · Oversee end-to-end portfolio and execution risk management, identifying systemic risks (e.g., resource conflicts, technical dependencies) and driving enterprise-wide mitigation strategies. · Manage the combined PMO budget, collaborating with Finance to forecast expenses, track financial performance, and reallocate resources during scope changes or market shifts. · Optimize global resource capacity across portfolios and execution teams, addressing bottlenecks and ensuring equitable distribution of talent. 5. Organizational Agility & Continuous Improvement · Define and scale Agile maturity initiatives to enhance collaboration, reduce waste, and accelerate delivery across the organization. · Analyze cross-portfolio retrospectives and execution data to identify systemic inefficiencies, driving iterative improvements in processes, tools, and team dynamics. · Promote knowledge sharing between portfolios and squads, leveraging best practices to enhance collective capabilities. Leadership Responsibilities · Mentor and develop the APMs through performance coaching, career planning, and skill-building initiatives. · Build a high-performing PMO team by fostering a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous learning. · Represent the PMO’s strategic value at the executive level, advocating for Agile transformation and portfolio optimization. Qualifications · Education: Master’s degree in Engineering, Business, or related field; MBA or PfMP/SAFe certification is a plus. · Experience: 8+ years of leadership experience in portfolio management, program execution, or PMO leadership, with 10+ years in technology/energy industries. · Agile Expertise: Deep knowledge of scaled Agile frameworks (SAFe, LeSS), Waterfall-Lean hybrid methodologies, and tools (JIRA, Confluence). · Cross-Functional Leadership: Proven ability to manage matrixed teams, influence senior stakeholders, and drive alignment across R&D, supply chain, and commercial functions. · Financial Acumen: Strong analytical skills in budgeting, ROI modeling, and risk-financial assessments. · Global Mindset: Experience leading global teams across cultures and time zones, with a track record of delivering projects in multi-region environments. · Communication: Exceptional storytelling and data visualization skills, with the ability to simplify complex insights for executive audiences.
