Product Operations- Senior Associate

As a CDAO Portfolio Strategy & Delivery Sr.

Associate in CDAO Product & Platforms, you serve as a senior advisor to Product Management leadership, building the portfolio frameworks and operating rhythms that turn priorities into funded plans and delivered outcomes.

You partner closely with Product Managers, Engineering leaders, Finance partners, and key line-of-business stakeholders to align demand, capacity, and dependencies across the portfolio.

Your work directly improves how CDAO prioritizes investments and balances competing demands across CDAO priorities, line-of-business objectives, and firmwide engineering mandates.

You create the visibility and governance leaders need to make timely trade-offs, reduce delivery friction, and keep execution focused on the highest-value outcomes.

Job Responsibilities


* You will create portfolio decision frameworks that translate enterprise investment priorities into quarterly and multi-quarter roadmaps, including clear scope boundaries, dependency assumptions, and outcome definitions that teams can execute against.


* You will shape capacity planning and investment sequencing by assessing discovery readiness, delivery capacity constraints, and work maturity, then packaging those insights into executive-ready recommendations for when to invest, accelerate, or defer initiatives.


* You will redesign planning and governance processes to reduce cycle time and improve forecast accuracy, including tightening the intake-to-approval workflow, clarifying decision rights, and standardizing quarterly planning artifacts used across the portfolio.


* You will define portfolio metrics and management intelligence that improve executive visibility into investment performance, capacity utilization, delivery velocity, bottlenecks, and planning effectiveness, and you will standardize the recurring portfolio reporting cadence used in leadership forums.


* You will influence product leadership on portfolio optimization and cross-functional coordination approaches that improve throughput and reduce rework, especially where shared platforms create unavoidable coupling across teams.


* You will apply GenAI and agentic solutions to improve portfolio operations, such as automating status synthesis from delivery systems, generating first-draft executive readouts, and proactively flagging emerging schedule and dependency risks for human review.


* You will champion adoption of improved tools and methodologies across portfolio management and collaboration systems, ensuring teams use consistent data definitions and workflows so leadership decisions are grounded in reliable information.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills


* 3+ years of experience in program management, portfolio management, portfolio optimization, or management consulting, with demonstrated ability to influence senior leaders and drive enterprise-level initiatives.


* You demonstrate systems-level problem solving ...
