Paciolan operates across multiple business segments with distinct client needs and growth trajectories. As the organization accelerates investment in new products, shared product, engineering, and design, capacity has become its most constrained and strategically valuable resource. The Senior Director, Portfolio & Program Management establishes and leads the enterprise portfolio function that governs how this capacity is allocated and deployed.
This role provides end-to-end visibility into the product development portfolio, ensuring alignment between strategic priorities and execution while enabling leadership to make informed, data-driven investment decisions.

Build and maintain the single source of truth for all product development initiatives, including scope, ownership, dependencies, risk, status, and forecasts.
Surface insights on misalignment, overcommitment, and emerging delivery risks.

Identify and escalate capacity conflicts, dependency risks, and delivery constraints early.
Ensure ongoing alignment between strategic direction and weekly/monthly capacity deployment.
Operating Model & Delivery Discipline
Establish scalable, lightweight standards for status reporting, risk management, and forecasting across delivery teams.
Drive a consistent operating cadence that enables decision-making without introducing unnecessary process overhead.
Clearly distinguish between portfolio governance and delivery execution reporting.
Financial Integration & Investment Management
Partner with Finance to integrate engineering investment tracking into portfolio reporting, including cost-per-initiative, capex/opex classification, and domain-level spend.
Enable visibility into ROI and benefits realization for completed initiatives and incorporate learnings into prioritization.
Link capacity allocation decisions to financial outcomes and investment performance.
