Purpose of the Role
CLIENT is looking for a Portfolio Planning Specialist who can manage the intake, sequencing, planning, and capacity view for new SAP, AI, and enterprise technology projects. The role should help ensure new demand is assessed properly, planned realistically, and aligned to available delivery capacity, funding windows, dependencies, and business priorities.

What We Expect This Role to Deliver
- Manage the intake and planning view for new SAP, AI, Finance Technology, and enterprise technology demand.
- Assess project readiness, scope clarity, funding status, resource needs, dependencies, risks, and target timelines before projects enter delivery.
- Maintain forward-looking capacity views across key roles such as architects, SAP specialists, delivery leads, BAs, PMO, testing, data, security, and vendors.
- Create and maintain an integrated roadmap showing project sequencing, milestones, resource constraints, and delivery windows.
- Support prioritisation decisions by comparing business value, urgency, capacity, risk, dependency impact, and delivery feasibility.
- Identify planning conflicts early and propose options for resequencing, resourcing, scope adjustment, or phased delivery.

- Roadmaps are realistic, dependency-aware, and aligned to available delivery, architecture, testing, data, security, and vendor capacity.
