Portfolio Manager

All three Portfolio Managers carry the same core responsibilities.

These map directly to the PDR offer-development workflow:

Intake → Design → MVP → Pilot → Full Launch → Portfolio Review.

Offer ownership & strategy

• Own all offers within the assigned pillar — the single accountable point for each offer’s health and lifecycle.
• Confirm scope fit at intake; decide which ideas belong in the pillar.
• Use the strategic framework and performance data from Portfolio Strategy & Intelligence to prioritize, refresh or sunset offers.

Offer design, scope & pricing

• Own offer design, scope, packaging and pricing within the pillar.
• Define the value proposition and the target buyer; ensure margin is validated with Finance & Legal.
• Bring Product Marketing in early on positioning and naming — not bolted on at the end.

Build, pilot & launch (the gates)

• Guide MVP content, resolve blockers, and enable select consultants alongside Operations and PMM.
• Manage pilot delivery and the client relationship ; secure 2–3 pilots sold before advancing.
• Co-own the pilot gate go/no-go decision with the Sr. Mgr , Portfolio Strategy & Intelligence.
• Make fast pivot-or-scrap calls on negative pilot feedback; take the offer live at full launch.

Cross-functional & stakeholder leadership

• Build and maintain cross-functional relationships with practice teams and SMEs in the pillar’s domain.
• Engage the right internal and external stakeholders at every stage of the lifecycle.
• Provide pillar performance data into the portfolio review and RLT reporting cadence.
• Travel up to 20% to support customer engagement, pilot coordination, and internal alignment sessions.

What you offer

• Demonstrated experience using AI in a practical, applied way — such as improving workflows, automating tasks, enabling better decision ‑ making , or increasing impact in prior roles. This does not require deep technical or engineering expertise in AI; we value applied use, experimenting, and a mindset of curiosity and continuous learning.
• Proven experience in product / offer management, portfolio management or solution development ideally in a technology, cloud or managed- services environment.
• Strong commercial acumen: packaging, pricing, margin and value-proposition design.
• Demonstrated ability to build relationships across sales, delivery, marketing, finance and external partners.
• Comfort using performance data to make invest / refresh / sunset decisions.
• Domain depth (or fast ramp) in the relevant pillar (cloud & AI, IT cost management / licensing, or managed services & support).
• Entrepreneurial, accountable and customer-focused
• Aligned to SoftwareOne’s IMPACT values.
