Sr. Consultant, Portfolio Planning Mgmt

The Role at a Glance

As a Sr. Consultant, Portfolio Planning Management, you will drive domain-level portfolio planning, prioritization, capacity, and roadmapping efforts that keep our initiatives aligned to enterprise strategy and focused on measurable value. You will partner closely with portfolio leaders, business enablement teams, and technology teams to translate strategic priorities into a clear, well-sequenced roadmap.

This is not a traditional planning or reporting role — you will operate as a strategic partner across the WPS Finance & Risk portfolio, surfacing interdependencies between portfolios and value streams (including their potential financial impacts), driving accountability for committed objectives, and helping resolve roadblocks that threaten delivery.

You may also mentor other portfolio or project management professionals, sharing your expertise to strengthen planning discipline and elevate delivery capability across the organization.

What you'll be doing

• Lead domain-level portfolio planning, prioritization, capacity, and roadmapping efforts, while supporting broader portfolio-level strategy development
• Facilitate domain-level prioritization through close consultation with business enablement and technology teams
• Understand the interdependencies between portfolios and value streams, including potential financial impacts, and engage portfolio leaders to maintain a strategic enterprise focus
• Support development of work requests and proposed initiative planning and sequencing
• Drive accountability across portfolios to achieve committed objectives (OKRs) within established timeframes, capacity, and budget
• Enable domain transparency by ensuring domain strategies and roadmaps are clearly defined and shared with stakeholders
• Manage domain- and portfolio-level risks, issues, and dependencies, mitigating proactively and escalating quickly to the appropriate stakeholders when needed
• Partner with Finance and peers to manage spend and track progress against benefits realization targets
• Help overcome roadblocks throughout the planning and execution process, and recommend mitigation steps and alternatives to resource constraints to maximize portfolio efficiency
• Deliver domain-level updates at all levels of the organization, including preparing supporting materials such as slides and financial summaries
• Provide subject matter expertise and guidance on complex assignments, alternative approaches, and solutions to meet business objectives
• Foster agile operating model planning and ceremonies, and promote communication and alignment across business, enablement, and technology teams
• Champion change management and process improvements that raise quality and capability across the team, department, and business unit
• Maintain awareness of emerging portfolio management trends, assess their impact, and collaborate with senior management to incorporate them into current and future solutions
• Serve as a mentor, sharing portfolio management expertise with team members and peers
