Director, Product Management – Global Investor & Distribution Solutions (GIDS) - PA-UID-PROD-Q4-N001 at SS&C Technologies

Job description

SS&C is a leading provider of mission-critical, AI-powered technology and services empowering financial services and healthcare organizations to work smarter, faster, and securely. Founded in 1986, SS&C is headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut, and has offices worldwide. More than 23,000 financial services and healthcare organizations, from the world s largest companies to small and mid-market firms, rely on SS&C for expertise, scale, and technology. Job Description Location: New York, NY What You Will Get To Do SS&C is already one of the largest global providers of technology and operational solutions for the asset management industry. We are expanding our outsourced operations and technology offerings for U.S. asset managers and we are looking for a Director, Product Management to help build these solutions. This is a builder s role. You will own the strategy for new outsourced operations and technology products serving asset managers, and you ll do the hands-on work to bring them to market: talking to clients, sizing the competitive landscape, shaping the operating model, setting pricing, and driving commercialization. This is not a role where you direct a large team from a distance — you ll roll up your sleeves and move things forward yourself, partnering across the organization to turn ideas into revenue-generating services. You will focus on products supporting Mutual Funds, Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs), Collective Investment Trusts (CITs), and related investment vehicles — helping asset managers improve efficiency, scalability, and operational performance. This is a rare opportunity to define and build new product offerings inside an established platform with the scale, clients, and infrastructure to bring it to market. What You ll Do Own the product strategy and roadmap for new outsourced operations and technology services for asset managers. Do the market work — interview clients, research competitors, identify service gaps, and define where SS&C can differentiate. Design the offering end-to-end — operating models, service specifications, business requirements, and the case for building each capability. Set pricing, service tiers, and commercialization plans, and build the business case for investment. Drive products from concept to launch, collaborating with Technology and Operations to turn requirements into scalable, automated services. Support revenue — contribute to sales efforts, client presentations, strategic pursuits, and RFPs as the product expert in the room. Be the voice of the market — gather client and prospect feedback continuously and feed it back into the roadmap. Work across the organization — Product, Operations, Technology, Sales, Relationship Management, and Executive Leadership — to deliver outcomes. Act as subject-matter expert on outsourced investment operations, operating models, and the competitive landscape. What You Bring Extensive product management experience building and commercializing B2B products or services — ideally in asset servicing, FinTech, or outsourced operations for asset managers. Ideally, you have taken offerings from concept to market, not just managed an existing roadmap. Strong fluency in investment operations across Mutual Funds, SMAs, CITs, and related vehicles — enough to design credible operating models and earn the trust of sophisticated clients. Deep, hands-on operations experience is a strong plus. A builder’s track record — you have created new products, services, or capabilities from the ground up and delivered measurable commercial results. Commercial instinct — pricing, value proposition, and business-case development come naturally to you. Self-starter, get-it-done mentality — comfortable doing the primary research, analysis, and hands-on work yourself, not delegating it away. Excellent communication and stakeholder skills — you can influence executives, win over clients, and align cross-functional partners without direct authority. 12 years of hands-on investment operations experience Experience across both large global and smaller/boutique asset managers, and familiarity with global operating environments, is preferred. Bachelor s degree or equivalent experience; advanced degree or relevant industry certifications a plus. Why You Will Love It Here!
