Job Description THE OPPORTUNITY This role has a dual mandate — and both halves matter equally.

The first: build, manage, and continuously evolve the internal platform services that power Deal Centre and Fund Centre — the data lake, AI services, cloud storage, and security infrastructure that application teams depend on to build, scale, and differentiate. You are responsible for the health, adoption, and roadmap of these services as though they were products. Because they are.

The second: own a portfolio of complementary products that are sold alongside Deal Centre and Fund Centre — products that extend client value, deepen competitive differentiation, and generate standalone revenue. You understand how platform capabilities translate into commercial offerings, how to position them relative to the core applications, and how to take them to market with conviction.

The person who succeeds here understands that a best-in-class data lake or AI service layer is not just an engineering investment — it’s a product story, a pricing lever, and a competitive moat. You will work directly with the SVP of Product and Design and alongside the VPs of Deal Centre and Fund Centre as a true peer. You are managing $100M+ in platform-related revenue.

This is not a support function. This is a business.

WHAT YOU'LL OWNBuild, manage, and own the roadmap for core platform services — data lake, AI/ML services, cloud storage, security, compliance, and identity — consumed by Deal Centre, Fund Centre, and the broader Intralinks product portfolio.

Own and grow a portfolio of complementary products that are sold alongside Deal Centre and Fund Centre — understanding how each complements the core offering, where it creates differentiation, and how to position and price it in a bundled or standalone context.

Manage a $100M+ platform and complementary products P&L. Own the revenue and cost model, make tradeoff decisions with financial precision, and hold yourself accountable to the number.

Define the strategic positioning of both the platform services (internal leverage) and the complementary products (external commercial value) — and articulate how they reinforce each other in a coherent portfolio story.

Partner with Deal Centre and Fund Centre VPs as a peer — understanding their roadmaps, anticipating shared platform needs, and sequencing investments that create leverage across the portfolio without creating dependency bottlenecks.

Drive cloud infrastructure strategy in partnership with Engineering. Understand how AWS services fit into the application stack — not just as infrastructure decisions but as sources of product capability and competitive advantage.

Own security, compliance, and data sovereignty as product capabilities — not engineering requirements. Understand what enterprise buyers in financial services need, what regulators require, and how platform security becomes a market differentiator and a sales enabler.

Lead and develop your platform product team. Set clear ownership, hold the team accountable, and build the culture of rigor and speed that this scope demands.

Represent platform and complementary product capabilities in customer conversations, sales cycles, analyst briefings, and executive reviews. You can go deep on architecture and translate it to business…
