Summary:

  • As the Sr. Consultant, you’ll lead the Application Rationalization Team (ART).
  • You’ll be responsible for driving decision-ready application portfolio outcomes across the enterprise.
  • Operating within ATLAS (Application & Technology Lifecycle Advisory Services), the ART Lead partners with Procurement, Security, Infrastructure, and Business Owners to map the full contractual application landscape, analyze utilization, identify overlapping capabilities, and drive strategic consolidation.
  • This role leads time-boxed rationalization sprints that produce clear disposition decisions, not analysis artifacts.

 

Job Duties:

  • Application Rationalization Sprint Leadership
  • Lead 2-week ART sprints through four phases: Discovery (app landscape mapping), Rationalization (cost, contract, overlap, and risk analysis), Disposition Decision, and Actionability Assessment.
  • Assign each in-scope application a disposition: Keep & Invest, Contain, Consolidate, Replace, or Retire.
  • Enforce non-negotiable exit criteria for every sprint: documented disposition, named owner, clear next step (Execute / Defer / Close), and recorded assumptions and risks.
  • Measure sprint velocity by decisions completed, not applications touched
  • Portfolio Analysis & Procurement Partnership
  • Partner with Procurement to map the full contractual application landscape, including licensing, renewals, and vendor consolidation opportunities.
  • Analyze application portfolios across cost (license support infra), utilization, functional overlap, risk posture, and contractual position.
  • Enrich CMDB with application lifecycle data and maintain inventory accuracy.
  • Identify consolidation candidates and feed the debt remediation team’s execution pipeline
  • Stakeholder Engagement & Governance
  • Work with application owners and business stakeholders across Vantive’s global operations to validate facts, assumptions, and business impact.
  • Drive alignment on difficult disposition decisions, particularly where organizational attachment conflicts with portfolio health.
  • Present concise, defensible recommendations to leadership, governance forums, and Architecture Review Boards (ARBs).
  • Participate in weekly intake triage: classify and route work to ART pipeline, DART queue, delegated decision, or backlog
  • ATLAS Continuous Improvement
  • Contribute to the maturation of ATLAS intake processes, sprint cadence, and rationalization patterns.
  • Help establish application lifecycle standards across the enterprise.
  • Support ATLAS reporting on portfolio health metrics, rationalization velocity, and cost avoidance.
