Senior Director, Platform Products

About the role

This role has a dual mandate: build, manage, and continuously evolve the internal platform services that power DealCentre and FundCentre, and own a portfolio of complementary products that are sold alongside these applications.

Responsibilities

• Build, manage, and own the roadmap for core platform services — data lake, AI/ML services, cloud storage, security, compliance, and identity — consumed by DealCentre, FundCentre, and the broader Intralinks product portfolio.
• Own and grow a portfolio of complementary products that are sold alongside DealCentre and FundCentre — 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 DealCentre and FundCentre 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 impact without missing a beat.
• Drive build/buy/partner decisions for platform capabilities — with clear business cases, not just technical preference.

Requirements

Non-negotiables: 10+ years in SaaS product management, with meaningful time owning platform, infrastructure, or shared services products — not just application-layer features. Demonstrated ability to think about platform in two dimensions simultaneously: as internal shared services that enable application teams, and as external commercial capabilities that can be positioned, priced, and sold. Fluency in cloud services architecture — particularly AWS. Direct experience with enterprise data — data lake architecture, data pipelines, or AI/ML platform services — as product capabilities, not just engineering infrastructure. Direct experience with enterprise security and compliance — SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or equivalent. Experience managing multi-product portfolios — understanding how shared platform capabilities serve divergent application teams and how to prioritize investments when everyone has competing needs. P&L ownership experience at scale. $100M+ preferred. You know what drives the number and you can defend your decisions in a business review. Demonstrated ability to develop strategic positioning for both platform services and complementary products — and to communicate that positioning with clarity to executive, commercial, and technical audiences. A genuine GTM orientation. You understand that platform wins when application teams adopt it and customers value it — and you build product and commercial strategy accordingly. Strong signals we’ll look for: You’ve navigated the tension between standardization and flexibility in a multi-product platform — and you have a clear point of view on how to resolve it. You’ve worked in financial services, legal tech, or another highly regulated industry where security and compliance are table stakes, not differentiators. You can describe a platform capability you built that became a commercial differentiator — something that started as internal infrastructure and ended up in a sales pitch or a customer contract. You have a clear answer to 'what are you working on right now' — and it’s a long answer. You can describe the metric that proved your most important platform investment. Not the capability. The business outcome. You worked early in your career doing something hard and unglamorous. You know what it means to earn something. You’ve read — and internalized — working-backwards thinking, JTBD methodology, and the discipline of storytelling as a product leadership skill. You don’t name-drop the frameworks. You use them. You are comfortable making a call with imperfect data and accountable when it’s wrong.
