Grant Thornton is investing in a new technology-enabled offering that will bring together strategy, implementation and ongoing services in a more integrated, repeatable model. The Platform Director will lead the offering from concept through market launch and scale, working across internal capabilities and an external partner ecosystem.

This is a hands-on Director level role for a builder who can translate a strategic vision into a differentiated client proposition, scalable delivery model and sustainable business.

Your day-to-day may include:

• Own the offering strategy, roadmap, operating model and execution plan.
• Convert market needs into standardized capabilities, reusable assets and clearly defined services.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams spanning strategy, technology, implementation, operations, risk and commercial functions.
• Establish product governance, architecture principles, release priorities and disciplined change control.
• Develop the commercial model, pricing approach, business case and performance measures in partnership with firm leadership.
• Support priority pursuits and communicate the offering credibly to senior client and internal stakeholders.
• Build and manage strategic relationships with technology, implementation and service-delivery partners.
• Provide oversight for early client deployments and ensure an effective transition from implementation to ongoing service delivery.
• Create a scalable multi-client service model with clear accountability, quality standards and performance reporting.
• Recruit, organize and lead the team required to grow the offering.

You have the following technical skills and qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in technology, engineering, business or a related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 15+ years of experience leading enterprise technology platforms, technology-enabled services, complex implementations or managed operations.
• Demonstrated success launching or scaling a platform, productized service, subscription offering or multi-client services business.
• Strong understanding of enterprise architecture, cloud platforms, business applications, data, integration, cybersecurity and service management—without dependence on a single technology vendor.
• Experience leading complex programs across internal teams, software providers, systems integrators and managed-service partners.
• Commercial acumen across pricing, recurring revenue, unit economics, contracting and delivery risk.
• Executive presence and the ability to influence senior stakeholders in a matrixed environment.
• A builder mindset, strong judgment and comfort operating in an evolving environment.
• Building new technology-enabled offerings within professional services, consulting or a comparable environment.
• Enterprise transformation, operating-model design or complex business change.
• Multi-client operations, global delivery and partner-led execution.

• Technology-enabled commercial models and recurring services.
