VP, Product Management - Alternative Investments

Job description

As a leading financial services and healthcare technology company based on revenue, SS&C is headquartered in Windsor, Connecticut, and has 27,000+ employees in 35 countries. Some 20,000 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 VP, Product Management - Banks and Corporates Location : Waltham, MA and New York City | Hybrid THE OPPORTUNITY We are not looking for a caretaker. We are looking for someone who will own this business — who wakes up thinking about how to make it better, sees around corners competitors can't, and leads a team that wins. The goal is straightforward: double the business in under three years. If you need to be told what to do, this isn't your role. This VP of Product Management will own the full product strategy and execution for Intralinks' Alternative Investments segment — covering fund management, investor relations, LP data rooms, DDQ automation, and AI-powered diligence workflows. You will lead a team of product managers, partner closely with Engineering, Design, GTM, and Sales, and report directly into the SVP of Product and Design. You will own outcomes, not just output. WHAT YOU'LL OWN Set the strategic vision for the Alternative Investments product portfolio and translate it into a disciplined, customer-validated roadmap — anchored in unmet needs, not feature requests. Drive the full product lifecycle — from market insight and ideation through launch, adoption, and growth. Understand what winning looks like commercially, not just technically. Lead AI product strategy for the segment. Know how LLMs, generative AI, and conversational interfaces are reshaping fund operations and diligence — and build for where the market is going, not where it is. Own the P&L mindset. Understand pricing, competitive positioning, revenue impact, and what it takes to move the number. Be the voice of the customer inside the building. Run discovery with GPs, LPs, and fund administrators. Challenge your own assumptions constantly. Lead and develop your product team. Hold them accountable, invest in their growth, create clarity of ownership, and build a culture where results matter more than activity. Work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Customer Success as a true partner — not a gatekeeper. Communicate strategy, tradeoffs, and decisions with clarity up, down, and across the organization. WHAT YOU BRING Non-negotiables: Fluency in the alternative investments ecosystem — fund management, LP/GP dynamics, fund operations, DDQ workflows, capital calls, or diligence. You don't need a glossary. 10+ years of product management experience, with at least 5 in a leadership role at a global SaaS business. You've launched products and watched them grow. A genuine GTM orientation. You understand that shipping is table stakes — winning market share is the job. AI product experience. You've worked with LLMs, generative AI, or intelligent automation in a product context — not just as a talking point. A proven ability to uncover unmet customer needs and translate them into roadmap decisions that create real differentiation. JTBD is a methodology you practice, not a buzzword you name-drop. Clear, direct, written and verbal communication. You can write a strategy brief, run an executive review, and give a hard message to a team member — all in the same day. A track record of building and holding teams accountable — with the emotional intelligence to develop people, not just manage them. Strong signals we'll look for: You worked early in your career doing something hard and unglamorous. You know what it means to earn something. 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 product success. Not the initiative. The outcome. You've read — and internalized — working-backwards thinking, JTBD methodology, radical candor, and the discipline of storytelling as a product leadership skill – many more. You are more comfortable making a call with imperfect information than waiting for consensus. You've operated in a market with institutional clients where relationships are long, trust is slow to earn, and switching costs are real. INTERVIEW LENS We will ask you four questions that tell us almost everything we need to know: 1. How do you uncover unmet customer needs — and how have you turned that into a differentiated product that won in the market? 2. What is the accomplishment 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 The alternative investments market is in the middle of a structural shift. Institutional LP bases are expanding, operational complexity is growing, and AI is beginning to reshape how fund managers work. Intralinks sits at the center of this with scale, brand, and a product footprint that no startup can replicate. This is not a turnaround. This is a growth play with real tailwinds — and it needs someone who can see that and run toward it. If you want a role where you own something meaningful, work with people who are serious about winning, and have the authority to make consequential product decisions — this is it.
