Job summary

Arrowstreet Capital is seeking a seasoned Technical Product Manager for Platform Engineering to shape a cohesive roadmap and drive adoption of internal platform capabilities. You will translate strategic direction into prioritized initiatives, balance stakeholder value with capacity, and ensure measurable outcomes across the platform portfolio.

You will work with engineering leads, application teams, and investment teams to ensure roadmap clarity, effective governance, and reliable service

Qualifications

• Ability to operate credibly between highly technical engineering teams and their equally technical customers.
• At least 10 years of experience in technical product management, platform management, or a closely related role.
• Experience working with internal platforms, cloud infrastructure, developer tooling, production services, or technical products of similar complexity.
• Strong knowledge of product discovery, roadmap development, prioritization, adoption, and outcome measurement.
• Experience with service-management practices such as SLAs/SLOs, observability, incident management, operational readiness, resilience, and problem management.
• The ability to understand complex technical topics, ask effective questions, and facilitate decisions without needing to be the deepest technical expert.
• Strong judgment in balancing customer value, technical constraints, reliability, risk, cost, and delivery capacity.
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including the ability to structure complex discussions and present clear recommendations.
• A track record of influencing and driving results across teams without relying on direct authority.

Responsibilities

• Own the shaping, maintenance, and communication of the integrated Platform Engineering roadmap, translating the strategic direction set by the Head of Platform Engineering into prioritized outcomes and initiatives.
• Balance stakeholder value, strategic alignment, engineering capacity, technical health, operational risk, dependencies, and cost. Bring material trade-offs and prioritization recommendations to the Head of Platform Engineering for decision.
• Develop a strong understanding of internal-stakeholder needs, workflows, and pain points, distinguishing broadly valuable platform opportunities from one-off requests.
• Ensure roadmap initiatives have clear customer or organizational outcomes, ownership, dependencies, sequencing, and measures of success.
• Define intended outcomes for platform investments and use adoption, service-performance, and customer-feedback data to inform priorities.
• Work closely with Technical PMO on project management, standards and coordination on large cross-team initiatives.
• Establish an effective stakeholder engagement model. Partner with engineering leads to prepare and conduct roadmap, capability, and technical discussions, ensuring consistent communication and clear follow-through.
• Coordinate initiatives spanning multiple Platform Engineering teams, maintaining visibility into dependencies, risks, decisions, and commitments while leaving technical execution with engineering leads.
• Define and maintain service expectations, including SLAs/SLOs, support models, ownership, and escalation paths.
• Maintain portfolio-level visibility into operational performance and service-level attainment. Establish consistent reporting and review processes, and work with engineering leads to identify gaps, track corrective actions, and elevate persistent or material issues.
• Ensure reliability, resilience, security, compliance, lifecycle risk, cost, and operational readiness are appropriately reflected in product priorities.
• Provide leadership with clearly framed recommendations, including relevant evidence, options, trade-offs, and recommendations
