A fantastic opportunity has presented itself for a Executive Manager AI Portfolio Management reporting to General Manager AI Value & Delivery.
As the Executive Manager AI Portfolio Management, you will lead the planning, coordination and governance of nbn’s enterprise AI and Digital portfolio, ensuring initiatives are value-led, well-sequenced and transparently tracked against agreed outcomes. You will develop and maintain an integrated multi-year portfolio roadmap, bringing clarity to priorities, dependencies and capacity across Business Units, Technology and delivery partners.
You will establish disciplined portfolio governance that supports evidence-based decision-making, clear prioritisation and thoughtful risk management. Through high-quality insights and reporting, you will enable Executive confidence and support portfolio forums with clear options and timely escalation. Working collaboratively across the organisation, you will help translate strategic intent into a cohesive, delivery-ready portfolio that drives meaningful value for nbn.
You bring extensive experience in management consulting or a related field, with a strong foundation in data, technology or transformation within complex, regulated or infrastructure environments. You have a proven track record leading strategic planning and large-scale portfolios and are confident working across enterprise priorities where influence is key to success.
You are a collaborative and inclusive leader who brings people together and creates alignment in complexity. You balance strategic thinking with pragmatic delivery. With a strong sense of purpose, you are motivated by enabling others to succeed, fostering trust and ensuring decisions are grounded in insight and shared understanding. Your approach and natural credibility allow you to shape outcomes, support innovation and deliver lasting impact for nbn and the communities it serves.
