• Cross-functional alignment: Collaborate with enterprise architecture, solution delivery, cybersecurity, data, procurement, finance, legal, and governance teams to ensure proposed solutions are feasible, secure, compliant, scalable, and aligned to enterprise standards.
• Executive communication: Synthesize complex business and technology information into executive-ready materials, roadmap views, and recommendations that support decision-making and clearly communicate priorities, options, dependencies, risks, trade-offs, resource considerations, and expected business value.
• Value realization: Establish success measures, key performance indicators, benefit hypotheses, adoption measures, and benefit realization plans for roadmap initiatives and operational improvements.
• Change and adoption planning: Identify business readiness needs, change impacts, stakeholder impacts, training implications, adoption risks, and communication needs to support successful implementation.
• Develop and refine future-state technology roadmaps aligned to enterprise strategy, business needs, and value creation opportunities through partnership with business and IT leaders.

• Aligning diverse business priorities into a clear enterprise technology roadmap: This role must navigate competing needs, limited resources, operational constraints, and varying levels of stakeholder readiness to create a practical, value-driven roadmap that supports both near-term business operations and long-term strategic outcomes.
• Translating innovation opportunities into responsible, measurable business value: This role must help business functions move from ideas and emerging technology interest to well-defined use cases, adoption plans, and measurable outcomes while balancing risk, data readiness, change impact, and enterprise standards.
• Determine which business capability gaps, process improvements, system enhancements, or technology opportunities should be prioritized within the enterprise roadmap based on strategic alignment, business value, operational impact, risk, dependencies, and resource availability.
• Decide whether a business need should be addressed through a process change, system enhancement, new technology capability, reporting improvement, or policy/operating model adjustment based on root cause, expected value, complexity, cost, and sustainability.
