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 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 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. WHAT YOU LL OWN 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 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. INTERVIEW LENS We will ask you four questions that tell us almost everything we need to know: 1. How do you uncover unmet needs across both internal platform consumers and external buyers — and how have you used that to build platform capabilities that created real commercial differentiation? 2. Describe a platform investment you are most proud of — the specific impact and the metric that proved it. 3. What are you working on right now? (We’re looking for someone who has trouble deciding where to start.) 4. What was your first job? WHY THIS ROLE Enterprise SaaS is in the middle of a structural shift. AI is changing what platform capabilities need to look like — and who owns them. Data lake strategy is becoming a board-level conversation. Cloud-native architecture is raising the bar on what security and compliance mean. And buyers in financial services are asking harder questions about data sovereignty, model governance, and infrastructure resilience than they were two years ago. Intralinks sits at the intersection of all of this — with a product suite, a customer base, and a platform footprint that no startup can replicate. The platform is what makes the portfolio possible. The complementary products are what make it stickier. This role is for the person who wants to own both — who finds more energy in making a portfolio of products and services stronger simultaneously than in owning one thing completely. If that’s you, we should talk. Unless explicitly requested or approached by SS&C Technologies, Inc. or any of its affiliated companies, the company will not accept unsolicited resumes from headhunters, recruitment agencies, or fee-based recruitment services. SS&C Technologies offers a comprehensive total rewards package designed to support your wellbeing, growth, and future. Our benefits include medical, dental, and vision coverage; a 401(k) plan with company match; paid time off, holidays, and parental leave; and professional development reimbursement opportunity. Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis until the position is filled. SS&C Technologies is an Equal Employment Opportunity employer and does not discriminate against any applicant for employment or employee on the basis of race, color, religious creed, gender, age, marital status, sexual orientation, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other classification protected by applicable discrimination laws.
