The Role

We are looking for a visionary and client-obsessed technology leader to be our Global Head of Commercial Technology Portfolio. In this critical role, you will own the entire technology ecosystem that governs how our clients discover, consume, and engage with S&P Global Indices products and data. You will be the single leader responsible for our global data distribution platforms, client-facing portals, and the full suite of sales and marketing technologies that power our growth.

Your mission is to build a seamless, world-class digital experience that delights our customers and provides a strategic advantage to our commercial teams.

Key Responsibilities:

* Commercial Technology Vision:
Define and execute a cohesive technology strategy across all client-facing and revenue-enabling platforms, including data delivery APIs, customer portals, CRM, and the marketing technology stack.

* Drive Revenue Enablement:
Serve as the primary technology partner to the Chief Commercial Officer and the leaders of Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success. Build the platform that accelerates lead generation, shorten sales cycles, and increase customer lifetime value.

* Scale Data Delivery:
Lead the architecture and development of our next-generation data delivery platforms. You will be responsible for building highly available, secure, and scalable APIs and data feeds that deliver gigabytes of essential intelligence to our clients.

* Champion the Customer

Experience:

Foster a deeply client-centric engineering culture. Engage directly with our largest enterprise customers to understand their needs and use that insight to build intuitive and powerful digital products.

* Build a Unified Customer View:
Architect a connected technology ecosystem that provides a 360-degree, data-driven view of the entire customer journey, from the first marketing touchpoint through to renewal and support.

* Lead and Develop Talent:
Attract, build, and mentor a high-performing, globally distributed engineering organization. Cultivate a culture of innovation, ownership, and operational excellence focused on delivering business impact.

What We're Looking For:

Experience:

* 15+ years of experience in software engineering, with at least 7+ years in a senior leadership role leading client-facing product engineering team.

* Demonstrable track record of building and scaling large-scale, commercial B2B platforms, such as enterprise SaaS products, financial data platforms, or API-as-a-product businesses.

* Deep experience with the technology stack that powers modern commercial organizations, including extensive work with CRM platforms (e.g., Salesforce) and marketing automation ecosystems.

Technical Expertise:

* Expertise in cloud architecture (AWS/GCP), specifically with services related to API management (e.g., Kong, AWS API Gateway), identity and access management (IAM), and content delivery networks (CDNs).

* Strong background in building and operating secure, scalable web applications, services, and APIs (REST, Graph

QL).

* Familiarity with data privacy and compliance standards (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) and their architectural implications.

Leadership & Business Acumen:

* Exceptional commercial and product acumen. You must be able to think like a business owner and translate commercial goals into a clear technical strategy.

* Proven ability to partner with and influence senior commercial leaders (e.g., C-level executives in Sales and Marketing). You are a trusted advisor, not just a service provider.

* Outstanding client-facing communication skills. You are credible and compelling in front of our most strategic and technically sophisticated customers.

* A passion for building inclusive, high-energy teams and a reputation as a dedicated mentor and talent developer.

* A strong product mindset with a history of building technology that drives tangible business outcomes.
