About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential nonprofit technology organization in a search for a Director, Portfolio Management. This strategic role sits at the intersection of portfolio planning, governance, performance management, and cross-organizational execution within a mission-driven enterprise that manages multiple affiliated organizations and investments.

Our client operates as a steward of a diverse portfolio, managing assets and investments to advance their mission while shaping long-term strategy, allocating funding, and managing brands across their ecosystem. This is a highly collaborative, hands-on role for an operator who can bring structure to complexity, translate portfolio priorities into clear plans and processes, and ensure leaders across the organization have the information, forums, and operating rhythms needed to make effective decisions.

The role reports directly to the organization's COO and requires someone who can serve as both strategic partner and operational leader.

• Coordinate portfolio governance processes and prepare materials for leadership and Board discussions
• Identify opportunities to simplify processes, improve decision-making, and reduce unnecessary coordination across organizations

Cross-Portfolio Execution

• Translate portfolio priorities into clear workstreams, owners, milestones, dependencies, and delivery cadences
• Surface risks and execution gaps early and work with leaders across the portfolio to resolve them

Leadership & Decision Support

• Serve as a strategic and operational partner to the COO and broader leadership team
• Design and facilitate portfolio-level operating forums and working sessions
• Build trusted relationships across portfolio organizations and influence effectively without relying on direct authority

• Direct prior experience in a portfolio-level role, along with experience in strategy, business operations, portfolio operations, strategic program management, or related roles
• A strong connection to mission-driven work and an interest in helping build an organizational model that combines mission impact with strong operational and business discipline
• Familiarity with Board governance and capital allocation processes strongly preferred
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with an ability to synthesize complex information into clear recommendations and actions
