The Strategic Portfolio Management (SPM) team is a pivotal element of Strategy Execution.

- Optimise the performance of business delivery across VFUK: support migration to SAFe/LPM WoW, identify and remediate thematic issues impacting the execution of delivery, and ameliorate specific challenges where applicable. Where required, assume responsibility for deliveries.
- Support execution of the VFUK Capex Investment Plan process. Facilitate the enterprise-wide alignment of demand to strategy and risk in support of Board-level investment decisions, enabling effective prioritisation of funds and resources across the organisation, optimising the value delivered.
- Support, as required, the Senior Manager - SPM in the orchestration, preparation, and delivery of the monthly UK Board meeting (Executive Governance):

- Review individual Portfolio, and enterprise-level, data & analytics to identify discrete and thematic actionable points.
- Identify specific scopes of work at risk, which require executive remediation to ensure desired outcomes.
- Facilitate cross-portfolio alignment to enable effective executive level escalation and decision making within Executive Governance.
