Join a global team that is shaping the future of buildings and creating real impact for customers, communities, and the planet

Your Mission

In this role, you will help define how the Smart Infrastructure Buildings portfolio evolves for the future.

This is an exciting opportunity for a strategic thinker who enjoys bringing structure to complexity, influencing across a global organization, and shaping meaningful change in a highly visible environment

Your Responsibilities

Strategic Portfolio Leadership

• Shape and align the portfolio strategy across businesses, translating vision into clear priorities, investment choices, and execution roadmaps
• Translate strategic vision into actionable roadmaps with explicit trade-offs: where to invest, where to deprioritize, where to standardize, and where to differentiate
• Drive cross-functional alignment, portfolio integration, and strategic support for M&A and transformation initiatives

Capital Allocation & Investment Governance

• Lead investment governance by allocating resources to the highest-value opportunities and ensuring disciplined decision-making
• Challenge, refine, and evaluate investments using strategic, financial, customer, and risk-based criteria

Performance Management & Data-Driven Decision-Making

• Provide transparency on portfolio performance, investment returns, and resource utilization to enable better decisions
• Use data and insights to drive optimization, manage risks, and improve portfolio outcomes

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

• Lead decision-oriented portfolio reviews with business and divisional leaders to create alignment on priorities, trade-offs, and next steps
• Drive early alignment with go-to-market functions such as Marketing, Sales, and Vertical teams so portfolio priorities reflect customer needs, and the right work is advanced across the portfolio to deliver stronger outcomes
• Build trust, influence stakeholders, and foster collaboration to ensure customer-focused priorities are executed effectively

What Makes You Successful in This Role

Strategic perspective – You can turn broad ambition into a clear portfolio direction, make thoughtful trade-offs, and continuously optimize the portfolio to focus on what matters most

Strong business and financial judgment – You understand how to evaluate investments, balance short-term returns with long-term value, and use data to support decisions

Influence in a global organization – You build trust, align stakeholders, and move decisions forward without relying on formal authority

Execution with clarity – You simplify complexity, communicate clearly to senior leaders, and turn strategy into action without getting lost in analysis
