About this role
Your team
You will join the Aladdin Private Markets Technology organization and lead the evolution of Dealflow within the broader front-office platform. The team works across engineering, design, data, artificial intelligence (AI), commercial, and client functions to build connected technology for private-markets investors.

Your role and impact
You will define and deliver the next generation of Dealflow capabilities, leading the ground-up rebuild of the deal-management platform. You will shape how private-markets investors discover opportunities, evaluate investments, collaborate across teams, and manage portfolios throughout the investment lifecycle. The rebuilt experience will combine AI, integrated data, and modern workflows to improve investor productivity and support informed investment decisions.
In the first 12 to 24 months, you will establish the strategic vision and roadmap for the Dealflow rebuild, deliver the foundation of a modern workflow-driven experience, integrate Dealflow into the broader front-office platform, and launch AI-powered capabilities that improve investor productivity. Success will be measured through user adoption, engagement, and client satisfaction.
