ROLE OVERVIEW:

As Product Portfolio Manager for the Back Office portfolio, you will define the vision, strategy, and investment direction for the enterprise capabilities that enable ABC Supply’s accounting, finance, credit, legal, and human resources functions. The portfolio includes the processes, products, platforms, data, and integrations that support financial stewardship, workforce effectiveness, risk management, compliance, and scalable corporate operations.

You will serve as an enterprise capability strategist, connecting organizational strategy, end-to-end process performance, associate experience, regulatory obligations, and technology investment. You will look beyond individual applications, projects, and functional requests to determine which back-office capabilities should be invested in, modernized, simplified, standardized, consolidated, or retired.

Working with Domain Process Owners, Product Managers, Architecture, Delivery, Data and Analytics, Information Security, Change Management, and executive leadership, you will establish priorities, guide investment decisions, and create visibility into measurable outcomes. You will balance operational stability, control effectiveness, associate experience, data integrity, privacy, compliance, growth, and long-term platform sustainability.

This role includes direct people leadership of Product Managers assigned to the Back Office portfolio. Product Managers own product and capability strategies and near-term roadmaps; the Product Portfolio Manager ensures the portfolio collectively advances enterprise objectives and enables the achievement of expected value.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Enterprise Capability Strategy:

Maintain an enterprise view of the capabilities enabled by the Back Office portfolio across accounting, finance, credit, legal, and human resources. Identify capability gaps, duplication, fragmentation, manual work, and unnecessary complexity. Ensure decisions improve end-to-end enterprise performance rather than optimizing one function in isolation.

Portfolio Vision and Investment Direction:

Define and communicate the Back Office portfolio vision, strategy, and roadmap. Align investment to organizational and functional objectives, process performance, associate experience, capability maturity, risk, compliance, and expected value.

Strategic Portfolio Lifecycle Management:

Balance innovation, operational health, regulatory needs, technical debt, and sustainability. Guide enhancement, modernization, consolidation, replacement, and retirement decisions across the portfolio.

Outcome and Benefit Realization:

Translate objectives into measurable portfolio outcomes. Ensure material investments identify the capability being advanced, intended outcomes, success measures, and the Domain Process Owner accountable for realizing benefits. Distinguish delivery completion from outcome achievement.

Enterprise Process Alignment:

Partner with Domain Process Owners to improve end-to-end process effectiveness, scalability, standardization, and measurement while preserving clear accountability for domain decisions, adoption, and value realization.

Portfolio Health and Investment Effectiveness:

Establish an evidence-based view of process performance, adoption, reliability, data quality, technical debt, lifecycle risk, cost, and realized value. Make visible where investment is consumed by instability, customizations, fragmentation, or recurring corrective work.

Portfolio Governance and Prioritization:

Lead transparent, evidence-based prioritization across competing opportunities. Recommend when to invest, adjust, expand, stop, or redirect work based on strategic alignment, value, risk, and portfolio capacity.

Cross-Functional Leadership:

Create alignment across Product, Domain Process Owners, UX, Business Analysis, Architecture, Engineering, Delivery, Data and Analytics, Change Management, and Operations. Surface trade-offs and decisions requiring executive action.

People Leadership:

Hire, coach, and develop Product Managers. Establish clear expectations, strengthen product management capability, and foster accountability, systems thinking, collaboration, and an outcome-oriented culture.

HOW SUCCESS IS DEFINED:

The Back Office Product Portfolio Manager is successful when the organization can demonstrate that:

• Back Office investments are explicitly aligned to organizational objectives and the measurable needs of accounting, finance, credit, legal, and human resources.
• Investment choices are based on enterprise capability needs and expected outcomes, not primarily on application demand or project sponsorship.
• End-to-end processes are becoming more effective, scalable, standardized, and measurable.
• Expected benefits are verified with Domain Process Owners and unrealized value is visible and acted upon.
• Operational instability, recurring issues, control gaps, technical debt, data-quality concerns, privacy and compliance risks, and systemic process weaknesses are visible and actively addressed.
• The Back Office ecosystem is becoming simpler, healthier, more secure, more reliable, and more sustainable while improving the experience of associates and functional teams.
• Leadership has sufficient evidence to decide where to invest, modernize, standardize, consolidate, retire, or stop.
