Position Overview

Elite is hiring a Director , Platform & Intelligence Value Stream to own the value stream end to end - the shared platform foundation every Elite product is built on, together with the productization of our AI and data capabilities. You will own the roadmap for orchestration, conversational AI, rules, unified access, and the event backbone, and turn those services into a reusable foundation that our financial, work-to-cash, and internal business product lines build on rather than around. 

This is both a strategy role and a delivery role. You will carry the what and why for the stream - a single prioritized backlog, roadmap sequencing, and requirements translation through release commitment and delivery - pair daily with an engineering delivery unit, and lead a small standing team of domain and analyst talent. Because the platform is horizontal, you will sit upstream of every customer-facing product line, and you will be measured on the return the stream delivers rather than on output volume. 

Work Arrangement: Remote 

Responsibilities

Own the Platform & Framework Foundation  

• Own the product roadmap for Elite's shared platform services - including workflow orchestration, conversational AI, and business rules - and sequence their maturity from foundation to scale.
• Own the product direction for unified access and entitlements - authorization, user management, data-level security, and subscription-driven feature access across Elite applications.
• Treat the platform as a product with internal customers, defining the patterns, contracts, and adoption paths by which other product teams consume shared services, so capability is built once and reused.
• Partner with Engineering on the shared infrastructure and sequencing that let product teams build on the platform rather than around it. 

Productize AI & Data  

• Own productization of workflow- and agent-driven capabilities that move customers beyond traditional reporting toward AI that takes actioninside their day-to-day financial and legal workflows.
• Turn data assets into productized offerings on a modern cloud data platform, with clear value metrics and pricing.
• Shape product and go-to-market strategy for integrations that give customers richer, real-time access to their data, including through third-party AI tools. 

Lead the Value Stream  

• Define and prioritize a single backlog around customer outcomes and return on investment, anddrive it from backlog through release commitment and delivery.
• Set quarterly outcomes for the stream and point the paired delivery unit at the highest-value work; own feasibility, trade-offs, escalations, and backlog readiness.
• Lead and grow the stream's standing team of domain and analyst talent, raising the bar on domain depth and AI fluency.
• Act as the product voice in architectural and platform prioritization, steering infrastructure investment toward the capabilities that drive customer outcomes and revenue. 

Build Governance Infrom the Start  

• Partnerwith Security and Architecture from the outset of each initiative to build data governance, access control, auditability, and appropriate safeguards into agentic products and integrations that handle privileged and financial data.
• Ensure agents inherit user-level permissions, including data-level security, so intelligence and automation stay within firm entitlements by design. 

Commercialize and Enable  

• Define value metrics and commercial models that make return on investment legible to customers and to the business.
• Enable Sales and Services with clear narratives, value propositions, and routing guidance for platform, AI, and data capabilities.

• Hands-on experience productizing platform or foundational services - workflow and orchestration, identity and entitlements, rules engines, or shared data services - consumed by multiple product teams.
• Experience building or productizing data offerings on a modern cloud data platform or lakehouse architecture (for example Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or Snowflake), with the technical fluency to make sound build trade-offs.
• Experience packaging, pricing, and commercializing data products or platform integrations, including connectors or APIs that expose data to third-party tools or AI assistants.
• Direct experience with data governance, access control, or compliance in a regulated or sensitive-data setting, and comfort partnering closely with Security and Architecture.
• A track record of end-to-end delivery ownership - turning strategy into measurable, shipped outcomes - with fluency in backlog management and outcome metrics.
• Proven people leadership: hiring, developing, and directing product and analyst talent, and leading through influence across Engineering and business partners.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management, with a bias toward focus, prioritization, and measurable outcomes.
