Serving as the operational leader for the APS ALIGN intake and planning process, the Associate Director provides end-to-end portfolio visibility, facilitates leadership governance and prioritization, and ensures initiatives are aligned with strategic objectives, available resources, and delivery capacity. The role partners extensively with APS leaders and cross-functional stakeholders to translate strategic direction into actionable priorities, manage dependencies and trade-offs, and drive execution of key commitments.

The Associate Director also advances APS portfolio management capabilities, maintains critical planning and reporting processes, and drives adoption of tools and ways of working that support transparency, accountability, and informed decision-making.

• Scenario Planning: Support leadership in evaluating prioritization, timing, and sequencing alternatives when enterprise demand exceeds available capacity.

• Leadership Accountability: Facilitate capacity planning discussions and establish expectations for timely, accurate inputs while maintaining functional leaders' accountability for their own resource allocation and capacity management.

• Organizational Planning & Enablement: Lead organizational planning processes and coordination mechanisms that enable effective collaboration, communication, and operational continuity across APS.

• Organizational Onboarding: Establish and coordinate standardized onboarding processes for new team members and leaders, ensuring effective integration into APS structures, priorities, governance processes, and ways of working.
