Job Description Single point of accountability for the enterprise's value realization and funding governance discipline agenda, sitting above the Value Assurance and Capital Assurance functions. The role exists to ensure the two disciplines operate as one system — that “value” (are we building the right things and capturing the benefit) and “capital” (are we spending money the right way, at the right velocity) are treated as two sides of the same governance coin.

• Resolve conflicts between value delivery priorities and capital discipline constraints

Reporting & Portfolio Oversight

• Consolidate outputs from both sub-functions into a single Pillar-level narrative for the PMO Steering Committee / Investment Council

• Hold the mandate to reprioritize or halt initiatives across the portfolio based on combined value-and-capital signals

• Monitor aggregate portfolio ROI, Earned Value Management (EVM) attainment, and capital efficiency

Talent & Leadership

• Own resourcing, coaching, and career pathing for the Value Assurance Manager and Capital Assurance Manager and their teams

• Build organizational capability across both disciplines

• Represent the Pillar in cross-functional and executive forums

Strategy & Roadmap

• Contribute to the enterprise portfolio governance roadmap and maturity agenda

• Partner with Finance and Enterprise PMO leadership on capital allocation strategy

• Integrated Pillar Governance Charter, published and version-controlled
