Let’s create a brighter future together, let’s make a difference
It’s important to know, what you do matters. At Zurich, we don’t just cover, we care.
Join Zurich at a pivotal point in our transformation as we strengthen how strategic investments are prioritised, governed and measured across the enterprise. Reporting into the Strategic Execution function, this senior leadership role provides the visibility, insight and challenge needed to help executives make informed decisions on where we invest, how we deliver, and the value we create for customers, colleagues and shareholders. The role exists to establish a trusted enterprise view of strategy execution, investment performance, delivery confidence, organisational capacity and value realisation.
Working across Product, Strategy, Finance, Data, Technology and Delivery, you will shape how portfolio information is connected, interpreted and translated into meaningful executive insight. You will influence enterprise-wide prioritisation, improve transparency, strengthen OKR and value tracking, and ensure senior leaders have the clarity needed to navigate trade-offs, risks and opportunities in a fast-changing environment.
You will also be responsible for the following:
- Creating a trusted enterprise view of strategic portfolio performance across investment, delivery, risk, capacity, dependencies and value realisation
- Leading executive portfolio insights that translate complex delivery, financial and workforce data into actionable recommendations
- Strengthening enterprise visibility of OKRs, benefits realisation, value at risk and strategic outcomes across major initiatives
- Acting as the business owner for portfolio management practices, governance rhythms and Atlassian-enabled ways of working
- Partnering with Product, Strategy and Finance leaders to inform investment decisions, prioritisation outcomes and portfolio trade-offs
- Providing enterprise-wide visibility of capacity pressures, execution constraints and critical cross-functional dependencies
- Supporting executive forums, quarterly planning cycles and Board-ready reporting while maintaining continuity across strategic execution activities as required
Internally we call this role a Strategic Execution Lead - Portfolio Insights & Value.
Important to your success – let’s grow together
You are a strategic thinker who enjoys bringing clarity to complexity and influencing decisions at the highest levels of the organisation. You combine commercial acumen with a collaborative leadership style and are naturally curious about how strategy, delivery, investment and value come together to create meaningful business outcomes.
In order to be successful, you will have the following:
- Extensive experience leading enterprise portfolio management, strategic execution, value management or investment governance within a complex organisation
- Demonstrated success driving portfolio prioritisation, OKR alignment, benefits realisation or enterprise performance reporting
- Experience acting as the owner of a portfolio management capability, governance framework, operating model or strategic planning process
- Strong capability translating financial, operational, delivery and workforce data into clear executive insights and recommendations
- Proven experience shaping business requirements for portfolio reporting, data transparency and decision-support capabilities
- Advanced stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence senior leaders on priorities, risks, trade-offs and strategic outcomes
