Senior Director, Platform Products

About the role

This role has a dual mandate - and both halves matter equally. The first: build, manage, and continuously evolve the internal platform services that power DealCentre and FundCentre - 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 DealCentre and FundCentre - 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 DealCentre and FundCentre as a true peer. You are managing $100M+ in platform-related revenue. This is not a support function. This is a business.

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.
• WHAT YOU BRING
• 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. You understand how services like S3, IAM, KMS, CloudFront, Lambda, and RDS fit into enterprise SaaS products. You don't need to write the Terraform, but you need to speak the language without a translator.
• 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. You know what it takes to pass an enterprise security review and you've built product strategy around it.
• Experience managing multi-product portfolios - understanding how shared platform capabilities serve divergent application teams and how to prior
