    Full time
    Description

    Summary

    The Strategic Innovation Portfolio Manager will be critical to the health, efficiency, and quality output of the set of projects tracked and managed under the Strategic Innovation function. The position will work closely with the internal partners and external stakeholders [e.g., Oregon Public Utilities Commission, consortiums / industry membership groups] to define priorities for each focus area of the portfolio.

In doing so, the position will drive quality of input, throughput efficiency, and quality of output for the Strategic Innovation function. This position will also work with PGE leadership to define and track new metrics to evaluate Strategic Innovation program success in alignment with industry best practices.

    In partnership with the R&D Senior Project Controls Analyst, the position will be responsible for communicating your methodologies, findings, and insights to senior leadership within PGE, external stakeholders, the board of directors, and the Oregon Public Utility Commission.
