This is a high-impact opportunity for an experienced Aladdin implementation leader to drive enterprise-wide transformation across front-to-back investment management platforms. Sitting at the intersection of business strategy, operating model design, data architecture, and technology delivery, this role centers on leading complex implementations and migrations of Aladdin.
You will partner with senior stakeholders to expand Aladdin capabilities across asset classes, modernize legacy environments into Aladdin’s integrated ecosystem, and shape scalable target operating models aligned to investment strategy.
