3 weeks ago
Summary
The Strategic Innovation Portfolio Manager will be critical to the health, efficiency, and quality output of the set of projects tracked and managed under the Strategic Innovation function. The position will work closely with the internal partners and external stakeholders [e.g., Oregon Public Utilities Commission, consortiums / industry membership groups] to define priorities for each focus area of the portfolio.
The work will involve building out innovation / technology development roadmaps in collaboration with key partners. These roadmaps will serve as guides to inform innovation prioritization in alignment with strategic objectives articulated in long-term planning documents.

In addition, you will work independently and in cross-functional teams to guide the development, execution, and evaluation of test plans for new technology use cases in partnership with business unit owners. In doing so, the position will drive quality of input, throughput efficiency, and quality of output for the Strategic Innovation function. This position will also work with PGE leadership to define and track new metrics to evaluate Strategic Innovation program success in alignment with industry best practices.
In partnership with the R&D Senior Project Controls Analyst, the position will be responsible for communicating your methodologies, findings, and insights to senior leadership within PGE, external stakeholders, the board of directors, and the Oregon Public Utility Commission.
