Senior Manager, Technical Portfolio Leader - Tax Transformation

If you are a technology visionary with a passion for transforming global tax business with digital technology, consider working with the US Tax Transformation technology team. This is an exciting opportunity to support global execution of Deloitte’s tax strategy as we shift from “doing digital” to “being digital” by reimagining how we engage with our clients, deliver our services, operate our business, and create value.

Work you’ll do

As a Deloitte Tax Portfolio Lead, you will own the end-to-end health and prioritization of a technology portfolio within the Tax Transformation Office, translating product and technology strategy into an actionable, enterprise-aligned roadmap. You will lead and coach a team of Technical Product Owners and Digital Product Owners (DPOs), align stakeholders across the portfolio, and make the real-time trade-off decisions needed to keep delivery on track and outcomes on target. You will serve as a trusted delegate to the Pillar Lead, representing portfolio priorities and decisions on their behalf.

Additional responsibilities include:

• Own roadmap prioritization aligned to product/technology strategy, balancing competing Epics and Asks across the portfolio.
• Align stakeholders on scope and rationale; enforce Definition of Ready on all roadmap submissions and maintain the enterprise roadmap as the single source of truth.
• Drive Business Asks through the full lifecycle — roadmap submission, decisioning, and customer feedback loops.
• Track and report on flow and product health metrics (e.g., roadmap health, carryover, velocity/burndown, scope change) and define OKRs/outcomes for the portfolio.
• Validate Program Increment outcomes and make real-time trade-off decisions; own release go/no-go decisions based on acceptance criteria.
• Measure business outcomes post-release and incorporate feedback and lessons learned into the roadmap and backlog.
• Manage and coach Technical Product Owners on customer-centric prioritization (value vs. effort), providing day-to-day people leadership, performance management, and career development.
