JOB TITLE: Sr. Principal, Infrastructure Strategy and Portfolio Management
The Sr. Principal, Infrastructure Strategy and Portfolio Management joins the Technology Services organization to serve as a portfolio integration leader for complex infrastructure portfolios. This role translates infrastructure strategy into portfolio outcomes, integrated roadmaps, and major investment choices while providing end-to-end stewardship across the EASE domain. The individual will diagnose systemic delivery, operational, financial, or organizational barriers and advise executive leaders on strategic trade-offs and governance. Key responsibilities include managing multi-year investments, reconciling delivery commitments with operational needs, and resolving cross-portfolio dependencies. Required skills include infrastructure technology knowledge across cloud, compute, storage, and network domains, alongside financial acumen for technology economics. Candidates should be proficient in tools like Jira Align, Jira Cloud, ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management, and Power BI to create trusted portfolio visibility.
Translate infrastructure strategy into portfolio outcomes, priorities, integrated roadmaps, and investment choices.
Lead integration for complex portfolios and resolve issues spanning multiple domains or organizations.
Establish an integrated view of major roadmaps, milestones, and outcomes across interdependent work.
Anticipate and resolve high-impact dependencies and risks by mobilizing accountable leaders and framing escalation paths.
Guide major investment choices using technology economics, capacity, forecasts, and risk assessments.
Synthesize complex portfolio information into executive decisions, policy changes, and operating-model improvements.
Serve as a strategic advisor to senior leaders to align cross-functional priorities and resolve complex trade-offs.
Set and evolve portfolio integration methods, measures, and standards while mentoring Principal-level leaders.
What we're looking for
10+ years of related experience.
Extensive experience translating infrastructure or technology strategy into complex portfolio priorities, major investments, and measurable outcomes.
Demonstrated leadership of a highly complex portfolio, product domain, platform, or transformation spanning multiple organizations and significant interdependencies.
Ability to maintain executive-level strategic oversight while selectively engaging in the detail needed to diagnose systemic delivery, operational, dependency, and financial issues.
Advanced product and portfolio leadership capabilities, including strategic framing, outcome definition, prioritization, roadmap integration, value assessment, and course correction.
Strong financial and investment acumen across budgets, forecasts, capacity, scenarios, benefits, technology economics, and portfolio trade-offs.
Experience resolving cross-portfolio dependencies and risks and distinguishing issues requiring executive action from those best managed within programs.
Experience shaping governance, policy, operating models, measures, or portfolio-management practices with broad organizational impact.
Deep understanding of infrastructure technologies and operating environments, including cloud, compute, storage, network, platforms, workplace technology, reliability, security, or related domains.
Master’s degree (MS/MA) desired in Computer Science or Engineering (preferred).
Experience leading portfolios with major multi-year investments, several accountable delivery organizations, and cross-domain or cross-portfolio dependencies (preferred).
Experience advising executives on strategic investment scenarios, technology economics, value realization, and operating-model decisions (preferred).
Experience using Jira Align, Jira Cloud, ServiceNow Strategic Portfolio Management, Power BI, financial-planning platforms, or comparable tools to create trusted portfolio visibility (preferred).
Demonstrated experience designing and scaling generative AI, AI agents, or workflow automation solutions that improve decision-making or increase organizational effectiveness (preferred).
