### Executive Reporting & Strategic Communication

-   Translate complex technology and business information into concise, structured, decision-ready content.
-   Prepare materials for steering committees, leadership reviews, executive forums, and board-level discussions.
-   Anticipate leadership questions and develop relevant analysis, insights, and recommendations.
-   Build and maintain presentation templates, storytelling frameworks, and executive communication standards.

### IT Intake & Portfolio Management

-   Manage and improve IT intake processes using a **strategic value and business-impact lens**.
-   Evaluate initiatives based on strategic alignment, investment requirements, capacity, dependencies, and expected value.
-   Develop governance materials outlining investment choices, trade-offs, priorities, and recommendations.
-   Maintain portfolio views covering initiatives, investments, capacity, dependencies, and strategic alignment.
-   Document portfolio decisions and the rationale behind them to strengthen organizational knowledge.
-   Continuously improve governance and intake processes based on outcomes, stakeholder feedback, and lessons learned.

### What's Makes You a Great Fit

-   **7–9 years of overall experience**, including approximately **3–5 years in strategy consulting or corporate strategy**.
-   Proven experience in **IT strategy, technology strategy, digital transformation, IT operating models, or technology consulting**.
-   Experience with leading consulting firms such as Deloitte, Accenture, KPMG, EY, PwC, or comparable organizations is preferred.

-   Comfortable challenging existing practices and identifying better ways of working.
-   Able to move seamlessly between **deep analytical work and executive-level storytelling**.
-   Proactive, curious, commercially aware, and outcome-oriented, with the ability to adapt in a fast-changing environment.
