Position Details

At Grainger, we are building systems to extend our market leadership for another 90 years. While lots of companies talk about "digital revolutions" or "delightful experiences", we're focusing on building solutions that matter. Our expertise comes from a profound understanding of our customer and their needs, and how our products and services create value for them. We appreciate dealing with complexity and scalability problems that few companies are privileged enough to enjoy. We are looking for Sr. Portfolio Managers to help guide and chart a course for Grainger's enterprise systems and application development so that Grainger continues to be the destination for "the ones that get it done".


The Sr. Portfolio Manager assumes the overarching responsibility for supporting the IT leadership and organization in managing the entire lifecycle of IT investments and programs to achieve the enterprise goals. The Sr. Portfolio Manager manages complex projects to help Grainger provide the tools to improve the customer experience through-out the customer's journey across multiple digital channels. This work tends to intersect into many IT and business teams, so it requires orchestration and influence. The Sr. Portfolio Manager will be a main contact for all team member questions and issues around IT projects. The Sr. Portfolio Manager will understand the business functions, including goals and strategies, industry trends, strategic partner relationships, executives and decision makers, and competitive position in the marketplace.


This role requires prior experience leading Finance-focused SAP S/4HANA migration programs, including brownfield migration from ECC to S/4HANA, Finance process and capability changes, and coordination across highly integrated enterprise environments.

  • Understand the project ask, gather requirements and definitions, and dive into root cause of the problem being solved including processes and potential business improvements and ensure all initial stages of project are met (requirements, design, funding).
  • Ensure project delivery, including coordination of ceremonies and issue resolution. Manage communication to all groups including your team, peripheral teams, and executive sponsors.
  • Accomplish financial goals by getting approvals from business and IT partners through building a business case, describing value creation, submitting accurate monthly forecasts, managing the budget through forecasting requirements, analyzing variances, and initiating corrective action.
  • Work with global, senior level leaders to help translate business strategies into technical project execution - operating at both the strategic and tactical level to manage team member expectations and perceptions.
  • Interpret our challenges and recommend best practices to improve products, processes, or services.
  • Lead others to identify creative solutions.
  • Capture and voice the IT Portfolio Roadmap. Identify dependencies and conflicts and resolve them.
  • Provide consolidated list of requirements to engineering teams.
  • Describe value of the project via creation of a financial business case or other mediums and highlight tracking to ensure value was captured upon project completion.
  • Contribute towards achievement of customer, operational, project or service goals; work is guided by functional policies.
  • Will lead a Portfolio Management team

You Have
  • Bachelor's Degree BA/BS in Computer Science or similar subject or equivalent experience required
  • 7+ years years in IT product or portfolio management or project management required
  • Experience managing large IT bodies of work from ideation through delivery
  • Experience operating in an agile/scrum context
  • Solid ability to translate technical verbiage into easily understandable language for non-technical audiences
  • Ability to communicate difficult concepts and encourage others to adopt a different point of view
