Who We Are Looking For
We are looking for an experienced Technology Platform Leader, Managing Director to provide end-to-end technology leadership for a strategic business platform focused on digital integration, collaboration, data and report delivery.
This leader will be accountable for the platform’s **technology strategy, architecture, engineering, delivery, operational resilience, risk posture, modernization, financial performance, and talent**. The successful candidate will combine strong technology depth with business and client orientation, translating strategic priorities into a multi-year platform roadmap while ensuring the platform remains secure, resilient, scalable, and cost effective.
The role requires a senior leader who can operate across Product, Operations, Architecture, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Risk, and other technology organizations while leading a globally distributed engineering organization.
Why This Role Is Important to Us
Our technology platforms are fundamental to how we deliver services to our clients and operate the business. The Technology Platform Leader provides clear, end-to-end accountability for the health, evolution, and business value of the platform.
The Role Is Responsible For Balancing Three Objectives
* Run the platform exceptionally well with high availability, resilience, security, and effective risk management.
* Modernize and simplify the platform to reduce complexity, technical debt, and total cost of ownership.
* Advance the platform strategically by applying modern engineering, cloud, data, automation, and AI capabilities to improve client and operational outcomes.
What You Will Be Responsible For
Platform Strategy & Ownership
* Own the overall technology strategy, architecture, roadmap, and lifecycle of the platform.
* Establish a clear multi-year technology roadmap aligned with business, product, operations, client, and enterprise technology priorities.
* Act as the senior technology point of accountability for platform health, delivery, investment, risk, modernization, and business outcomes.
* Define measurable technology outcomes and ensure investments deliver appropriate business value and return on investment.
Architecture, Engineering & Modernization
* Provide technology and architecture leadership across applications, services, data, integration, infrastructure, and cloud components supporting the platform.
* Drive simplification and modernization of legacy technology, reducing fragmentation, manual processes, technical debt, and unnecessary technology complexity.
* Advance modern engineering practices including APIs, cloud-native architectures, DevSecOps, CI/CD, automated testing, observability, data-driven operations, and responsible adoption of AI.
* Ensure solutions conform to enterprise architecture, cybersecurity, data, engineering, and technology standards.
* Create reusable platform capabilities instead of point solutions wherever doing so improves scale, speed, and economics.
Delivery & Execution
* Lead execution of major platform programs, regulatory commitments, client initiatives, technology upgrades, and releases.
* Establish strong engineering and SDLC disciplines with clear accountability for quality, schedule, scope, and financial outcomes.
* Partner closely with Product and Operations to translate business priorities into executable technology roadmaps.
* Identify execution challenges early and drive decisions, issue resolution, and remediation across organizational boundaries.
Resilience, Risk & Operational Excellence
* Maintain strong platform availability, resilience, performance, capacity, disaster recovery, and business continuity.
* Own the platform technology risk posture and drive timely remediation of vulnerabilities, audit findings, control gaps, end-of-life technology, and technical debt.
* Establish meaningful metrics and SLAs for platform health and use them to continuously improve operational performance.
* Lead major incident management, root-cause analysis, and sustainable remediation when significant technology issues occur.
* Embed cybersecurity, control, compliance, and resilience requirements directly into platform engineering.
Financial & Vendor Management
* Own technology execution within the platform budget and contribute to investment prioritization and multi-year financial planning.
* Continuously improve platform economics by simplifying architecture, reducing technical debt, eliminating unnecessary duplication, and improving engineering productivity.
* Manage strategic technology vendors and delivery partners, establishing clear accountability for cost, risk, quality, and outcomes.
* Make transparent investment trade-offs across growth, modernization, mandatory change, risk reduction, and platform maintenance.
Stakeholder & Client Leadership
* Build strong partnerships across Product, Operations, Client Services, Risk, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Architecture, Infrastructure, and other technology organizations.
* Communicate platform strategy, investment priorities, delivery progress, operational health, and technology risks clearly to senior leadership.
* Represent Technology in senior business, client, governance, and regulatory discussions where appropriate.
* Influence across organizational boundaries and drive alignment where priorities or objectives compete.
Organization & Talent Leadership
* Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing global engineering organization.
* Develop strong senior technology leaders and establish succession plans for critical leadership and technical roles.
* Create a culture of engineering excellence, accountability, transparency, innovation, and continuous improvement.
* Develop critical technical capabilities internally while using strategic partners appropriately to provide capacity or specialized expertise.
