Our Team And What We’ll Accomplish Together
The Portfolio Program Manager sits within the Portfolio & Organic Growth Office, acting as the central governance and program management lead for TELUS Health’s product portfolio.
Together, we will:

• Establish enterprise‑wide visibility into what products exist, where they are available, and how they fit together
• Enable leadership and commercial teams to clearly see cross‑sell and upsell opportunities across the portfolio
• Reduce fragmentation through consistent portfolio governance and operating discipline
• Support profitable organic growth by ensuring products are positioned and understood as a connected portfolio, not isolated offerings
• Create repeatable, scalable structures that support long‑term growth

**What You’ll Do**
You will build and run the governance and program infrastructure that gives TELUS Health a clear, connected view of its portfolio and its growth potential.
Specifically, you will:

• Design and run the Product Council as a governance and alignment forum

• Set agendas, coordinate inputs, document decisions, and track actions
• Ensure consistent, structured updates from all product teams
• Maintain clarity on decision rights, ownership, and escalation paths

• Create and maintain enterprise‑level portfolio visibility, including:

• A global inventory of products and services
• Where products are launched and available by region
• Product maturity, versions, and constraints

• Coordinate structured product reviews with Product Experts to:

• Ensure clarity on product status, readiness, and roadmap health
• Maintain consistent documentation across the portfolio
• Surface overlaps, gaps, or under‑leveraged capabilities

• Support identification of cross‑sell and upsell opportunities by:

• Highlighting where products naturally complement each other
• Making visible which products are used together by similar customer segments
• Surfacing portfolio insights for Commercial, Marketing, and Strategy teams
• Ensuring cross‑portfolio opportunities are visible in Product Council discussions

• Maintain the cross‑portfolio launch and release calendar to:

• Provide forward visibility into upcoming releases and enhancements
• Identify sequencing risks or dependencies that impact portfolio plays
• Inform, but not own, go‑to‑market and activation planning

• Enable clarity on product‑to‑segment fit by:

• Coordinating inputs between Product and Marketing
• Maintaining a clear view of which products serve which customer segments
• Flagging inconsistencies or ambiguity that limit portfolio selling

• Ensure governance standards are followed, without owning execution:

• Track readiness against agreed criteria
• Flag risks, misalignment, or gaps
• Enable resolution through appropriate product or regional owners

• Act as a central coordination point across Product, Marketing, Commercial, CSM, and Regions:

• Communicate portfolio‑level updates
• Enable consistent understanding of portfolio structure and opportunities
• Reduce duplication and confusion across teams

**What You Bring**

• 5+ years’ experience in program management, portfolio management, product operations, or PMO‑type roles
• Proven experience coordinating complex, cross‑functional initiatives without direct authority
• Strong understanding of governance models, operating rhythms, and structured decision‑making
• Ability to identify patterns, overlaps, and opportunities across portfolios
• Comfort working at the intersection of Product, Marketing, Customer, and Commercial teams
• Excellent organisational, facilitation, and communication skills
• Experience bringing clarity to ambiguous, matrixed environments
• Experience in health, digital health, SaaS, or large multi‑product organisations is an advantage

**Great‑to‑Haves**

• Experience supporting cross‑sell or portfolio‑selling initiatives from a coordination or enablement perspective
• Experience running governance forums, councils, or steering groups
• Exposure to go‑to‑market or launch readiness processes (non‑owning role)
