Key Responsibilities: Product Strategy & Development   Define and execute the product roadmap for alternative investment accounting products, aligning with company goals, client needs, and the broader investment accounting platform. Translate the nuances of alternative assets (e.g., capital calls and distributions, unfunded commitments, NAV and economic NAV, waterfalls, fee structures, secondary transactions) into clear product requirements and prioritized backlog.

Conduct market research and competitive analysis focused on alternatives to   identify   trends, client use cases, and emerging regulatory or reporting demands. Collaborate with stakeholders to gather requirements, articulate product vision, and prioritize features for development.

Partner with accounting, valuation, and data teams to ensure   accurate   treatment of alternative assets across GAAP/IFRS/statutory and client-specific policies. Champion end-to-end workflows for alternatives (e.g., ingestion of capital account statements and notices, commitment tracking, NAV and book value alignment, fee and carry calculations, look-through and exposure reporting).

Client & Market Engagement   Engage regularly with clients and prospects to understand their   alternatives   accounting, reporting, and operational needs and to   validate   product direction. Translate client feedback, production issues, and   implementation   learnings into actionable product improvements and prioritized backlog items. Deliver product demonstrations, presentations, and training sessions to internal teams and clients to drive adoption and effective usage of   alternatives   capabilities.

Testing & Quality Assurance   Define and oversee the testing strategy for new features and enhancements, with particular attention to complex alternatives   use   cases (e.g., capital account   rollforwards , NAV/book value alignment, custom waterfalls, multiple bases). Collaborate with development   teams to define acceptance criteria, test cases, and regression plans;   facilitate   user acceptance testing (UAT) with stakeholders and key clients.

Ensure that delivered functionality meets   high standards   for accuracy, performance, and reliability across large, complex alternatives portfolios.
