- Maintains and evolves the UK&I Enterprise Roadmap, covering demand, capacity allocation and target business value.
- Provides analysis and challenges to support leaders with prioritisation and investment decisions.
- Shapes clear recommendations for senior stakeholders on trade-offs, options and the impact of decisions on business value.
What you’ll do
- Maintain and coordinate the UK&I Enterprise Roadmap, keeping portfolio plans joined-up, accurate and aligned to strategic priorities.
- Bring together information from across portfolios, technology and business teams to identify themes, risks and opportunities that may not be immediately obvious.
- Get into the detail of portfolio plans, milestones, dependencies and capacity to understand what the data is really telling us and where the risks sit.
