Job Description

At the PRI, products might include tools, insights, guidance, new solutions and reporting platforms which can be utilised by investment managers, asset owners or service providers to help them meet the PRI Principles and add value to their RI investment and business processes.

Our platforms are how our members experience the PRI. Almost everything we offer reaches our members through a platform, and the services we are planning next depend on those platforms being scalable, sustainable and agile driving user experience, engagement and innovation. This role is accountable these platforms and these vendors.

You will be accountable for the technology platforms behind our products and services such as Briink, our future flagship product platform, and our web-based platforms built on Salesforce and Drupal. Most of the build sits with SaaS vendors and delivery partners, so the job is less about writing code and more about holding the end end platform ecosystem and data together, supporting our business and being the bridge between technology, the vendors and our business. Platforms that stay reliable while we keep maturing and adapting as our needs change but can see the bigger picture, understand business needs and who gets satisfaction from making a complex set technologies working together.

Core Responsibilities

• Own the platform picture across Briink, our data platform, Salesforce and Drupal (not exhaustive)– how it fits together now, and where it needs to go with clear roadmaps.

• Manage our SaaS vendors and delivery partners: set expectations, hold them to roadmaps and service commitments, and challenge when something isn’t good enough.

• Make integrations work. Data moves between our platforms, Salesforce, Microsoft 365, Azure services, Databricks and our identity tooling, and it needs to move cleanly and securely.

• Provide assurance over changes and releases, so what goes live is safe, supportable and does what the product teams expected.

• Keep the platforms reliable – performance, availability, resilience, recovery and monitoring – and act on what the data tells you.

• Manage the platform roadmap alongside product colleagues, balancing priorities, risks, dependencies and cost.

• Explain the technology to people who don’t work in it, and help them make good decisions.

Person Specification

• Experience leading technology platforms, engineering teams or critical business systems in a complex environment.

• Proven ability to deliver platform strategy while keeping day-to-day operations excellent.

• Experience managing SaaS vendors and delivery partners, including contracts, roadmaps and service performance.

• Strong grasp of integrations and APIs, and how enterprise systems connect and exchange data.

• Experience managing technology roadmaps, priorities, risks and dependencies.

• Strong understanding of modern engineering practices, platform management and service operations.

• Experience managing platform reliability, resilience and operational performance.

• Knowledge of risk management, compliance and governance frameworks.

• A confident communicator who can influence decisions and make complex topics simple.

Desirable

• Hands-on familiarity with Salesforce, Drupal, Azure, Microsoft 365 or modern data platforms.

• Experience with identity and access management, and secure integration patterns.

• An interest in how AI and automation can improve delivery, quality and efficiency.

• Comfort working in an agile environment with tools such as JIRA.
