The Portfolio Strategy Manager ensures that Flutter CEE’s strategic portfolio delivers measurable benefits and sustained outcomes. By combining strategic coordination, analytics, and governance, the role keeps the portfolio balanced, aligned, and value-focused. Acting as a central connector, the Portfolio Strategy Manager facilitates informed decision-making through data-driven insights, scenario analyses, and governance support, while collaborating closely with product, technology, finance, and functional leaders.

Supporting the Portfolio Strategy Director, the role translates long-term objectives into outcome-based tracking models that provide visibility into initiative progress, value realization, and cross-functional alignment. Ultimately, the Portfolio Strategy Manager enables strategy execution by embedding transparency, outcome tracking, and continuous portfolio improvement.

Main Responsibilities:

Benefits realization & outcome tracking

• Collaborate with initiative owners to define expected benefits and link these to strategic themes.

• Track realized outcomes at both initiative and aggregate portfolio level, emphasizing trend analysis over time.

• Highlight early delivered value (“value moments”) to demonstrate progress and maintain stakeholder engagement.

• Establish feedback loops between delivery outcomes and strategic planning cycles.

Portfolio coordination & governance

• Monitor overall portfolio health, performance trends, and strategic alignment through structured governance forums.

• Prepare materials for portfolio review boards and strategic checkpoints.

• Track governance decisions (e.g. start/stop/continue), ensure timely execution, and follow up on action items.

• Maintain a steady cadence of governance forums (e.g. quarterly planning, monthly health checks).

• Ensure initiatives are classified and reported against strategic themes to support alignment and benefit attribution.

Strategic insight generation

• Support the Portfolio Strategy Director in translating strategy into outcome-based portfolio models.

• Identify systemic patterns, value risks, or misalignment signals within the portfolio as a whole.

• Produce monthly and quarterly portfolio reviews that assess alignment, delivery confidence, and overall strategic contribution.

• Feed learnings from portfolio performance into future planning cycles to improve prioritization and value realization.

Analytics & reporting

• Develop and maintain dashboards focused on portfolio-level metrics such as RAG distribution, strategic alignment %, benefit realization, and capacity usage.

• Highlight trends across themes and domains to reflect the health of the portfolio rather than isolated initiatives.

• Communicate synthesized insights to executives, product leadership, and finance.

• Generate scenario modeling to assess strategic trade-offs and potential impact on portfolio balance.

Data integrity & initiative classification

• Maintain high standards for data quality, tagging, and metadata completeness to support portfolio-level insights.

• Ensure initiative-level inputs are structured to enable accurate aggregation and analysis.

Risk & dependency management

• Identify and escalate portfolio-level risks (e.g., systemic blockers, resource conflicts, theme-level delivery risks).

• Maintain a visual dependency map across teams, themes, and platforms.

• Track mitigation plans and risk trends to assess whether portfolio-level exposure is improving or deteriorating.

Budget & investment oversight

• Monitor actual vs. planned investment levels across the portfolio and surface any funding gaps or imbalances.

• Contribute to business case discussions and identify investment reallocation opportunities.

Portfolio optimization & scenario planning

• Recommend adjustments to improve portfolio structure, investment spread, and outcome balance.

• Conduct simulations to test responsiveness to environmental changes (e.g. capacity shifts, budget constraints).

• Provide strategic insights for rebalancing discussions during planning windows.

Cross-functional alignment & communication

• Partner with product, tech, commercial, and corporate leaders to provide non-intrusive visibility into portfolio performance.

• Deliver integrated insights that support both strategic steering and operational decisions.

• Act as a trusted, neutral advisor ensuring cohesion between strategic goals, execution progress, and delivered outcomes.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Strategy, Finance, Technology Management, Engineering, or a related field.

• Master’s degree (MBA or equivalent) is considered an advantage.

• 5+ years of experience in portfolio management, strategic planning, business operations, PMO, product operations, or related strategic roles.

• Experience working in technology-driven or digital product organizations.

• Proven experience supporting executive decision-making through data-driven insights and structured governance.

• Demonstrated ability to manage or coordinate cross-functional strategic initiatives and transformation programs.

• Experience with portfolio governance, investment planning, benefits realization, or enterprise planning cycles.

• Experience building executive dashboards, reporting structures, and strategic performance tracking mechanisms.

• Exposure to agile delivery environments and product-led organizations.

• Experience collaborating with senior stakeholders across Product, Technology, Finance, and Commercial functions.
