What You'll Do

The Director / Senior Director, Program Management, Portfolio Strategy & Management (PSM) runs the program review process that connects BridgeBio’s affiliate companies to executive decision-making. You will organize and plan the quarterly Program Review Meeting (PRM) cycle, help leadership and affiliates prepare, and track key deliverables and action items between meetings. You will also build and maintain the integrated timelines and milestone views behind the PRMs, and own the PSM Portal that gives leadership one trusted view of the portfolio. Senior Director scope includes broader program coverage, more complex cross-affiliate dependencies, and greater ownership of the PSM team’s structure and roadmap.

• Help prepare decision-ready materials for the Executive Team, the Board and functional heads, including portfolio decisions and development candidate nominations
• Own the PSM Portal as product owner: set the roadmap, run beta and tiered-access launches, triage user feedback, and keep the dashboards (catalysts, competitive intelligence, program status) accurate and current
• Manage the portal’s IT partnership, vendors and budget, including scoping statements of work and annual budget requests
• Secure reliable, recurring data from groups outside PSM (affiliate teams, the International organization, portfolio strategy, IP and competitive intelligence)
• Lead and develop the PMO capability
• Build and improve program management dashboards, tools, templates and processes that scale as the company grows
• Partner with Finance and Portfolio Strategy on long-range planning, budgets and resourcing
