The Finance & IT function works to accelerate business growth through ensuring that the company’s operations run efficiently and effectively, ultimately enabling the achievement of company goals.

Your Opportunity

We are seeking an IT Portfolio Manager to play a central role in shaping how technology strategy is defined, governed, funded, and executed across Dolby. This role is responsible for leading the ongoing development and maintenance of our service and investment portfolio and ensuring technology initiatives and spend are tightly aligned to business priorities.

This leader will serve as a strategic partner to the CIO, IT leadership, Finance, and business stakeholders—providing clarity, structure, and transparency into where technology dollars are invested, what value they deliver, and how initiatives align to company strategy.

Our Ideal Candidate

The ideal candidate is a strategic thinker with strong execution instincts. You understand how IT strategy, service portfolios, and investment decisions come together to drive business outcomes. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, influencing senior leaders, and balancing competing priorities across the enterprise.

You bring strong business and financial acumen, are adept at translating strategy into actionable roadmaps, and can establish lightweight but effective governance that enables—not slows—decision-making. You are viewed as a trusted advisor who helps leaders make informed trade-offs across initiatives, services, and spend.

Your Responsibilities

• Partner with the CIO and IT leadership to maintain and evolve the enterprise IT strategy and multi-year technology roadmap.
• Ensure alignment between business strategy, technology capabilities, and planned investments.
• Translate strategic priorities into an actionable portfolio of initiatives and services.

• Ensure IT services are clearly defined, rationalized, and aligned to business needs and demand.
• Lead prioritization discussions to balance innovation, run-the-business, and transformation efforts.

Technology Investment & Spend Management

• Lead IT spend and investment management discussions, including demand intake, prioritization, and financial transparency.
• Partner with Finance and Procurement to support IT budgeting, forecasting, and long-range investment planning.
• Identify opportunities for cost optimization, supplier rationalization, and improved return on technology investments.

Portfolio Execution & Governance

• Provide oversight of the IT delivery portfolio, ensuring initiatives are tracked against objectives.
• Deliver executive-level reporting on portfolio health, investment allocation, and value realization.

Stakeholder Engagement & Influence

• Act as a strategic liaison between IT and the business, ensuring shared understanding of priorities, constraints, and trade-offs.
• Drive consistent decision-making frameworks and reinforce accountability for outcomes across the technology portfolio.

Your Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in IT strategy, portfolio management, technology finance, or related leadership roles.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Information Systems, Technology, or a related field.
• Demonstrated success managing IT strategy, service portfolios, and investment governance.

• Proven ability to influence senior executives and lead cross-functional decision-making.
• PMP, ITIL, or related certifications preferred.
