Job Description

Director – Product & Platform Strategy

Role Overview

The Director – Product & Platform Strategy will establish and lead a dedicated product and platform strategy function across enterprise data and digital capabilities. The role is responsible for ensuring that platforms are designed, governed, and scaled as enterprise assets that power multiple enabling products, rather than as isolated or point solutions.

This leader will work in close partnership with enterprise platform teams, Enterprise Architecture (EA), product leadership, and engineering teams to drive alignment between business strategy, platform design, and execution.

The role is both foundational and connective — defining how platforms are built, managed, and consumed across the organization, while enabling consistent, scalable, and reusable capability development.

  • Managed (ownership, lifecycle, governance)

  • Consumed (APIs, services, reusable capabilities)

• Establish patterns that enable:

  • Faster product development

  • Consistent platform adoption across teams

• Drive the transition from project-based delivery models to platform-based enablement

Strategic Leadership & Relationship Management

• Support leadership in managing technology partners and key strategic relationships

• Provide clarity on:

  • Platform strategy and direction

  • Investment priorities

  • Capability and roadmap alignment

• Act as a trusted advisor to leadership on cross-platform strategy, trade-offs, and decisions

Expected Outcomes

• Establishment of a scalable and sustainable product and platform strategy function

• Clear alignment between enterprise platforms and the product ecosystem

• Platforms designed and operated as reusable, multi-product capabilities

• Reduced fragmentation and duplication across teams and capabilities

• Consistent and disciplined approach to how platforms are built, governed, and consumed
