About the Role

We are seeking a Director, Technology Investment Products & Economics to lead the development and adoption of our Technology Investment Data Platform (TIDP). The role begins with a practical mandate: improve visibility into technology usage, cost, ownership, and optimization opportunities through FinOps and Showback. Over time, TIDP will evolve into a broader technology investment capability connecting technology consumption with contracts, commitments, vendor spend, total cost of ownership, investment plans, and business outcomes. This is a product leadership role with significant technical depth. The successful candidate will be comfortable working with engineers and data teams on architecture, data models, attribution, lineage, and platform requirements, but will not be expected to own the underlying engineering organization. A significant part of the role will be working directly with technology leaders, product owners, Finance, Procurement, and executives to understand the decisions they need to make, translate those needs into product capabilities, and help users act on the resulting information. The Director will serve as the end-to-end product owner for TIDP, from the economic data foundation and Tech Subledger through Showback, optimization, decision products, adoption, and value realization.

Responsibilities

Own the TIDP Product Strategy
Define the product vision, roadmap, priorities, user experiences, and success measures for TIDP.
Lead user and executive discovery to understand technology investment questions and translate them into scalable product capabilities.
Partner with engineering and enterprise data teams to define requirements for the underlying data platform and Tech Subledger.
Ensure TIDP develops as a coherent decision platform rather than a collection of reports and dashboards.
Establish FinOps, Showback, and Technology Economics
Build trusted visibility into technology cost, usage, ownership, forecasts, and optimization opportunities.
Develop Showback and self-service capabilities for technology and product owners.
Establish meaningful unit economics that help distinguish changes driven by consumption, pricing, architecture, adoption, capacity, or contractual commitments.
Develop transparent approaches to cost attribution versus allocation, prioritizing costs that technology owners can understand and influence.
Drive optimization from opportunity identification through accountable action and verified outcomes.
Shape the Technology Investment Data Foundation
Own the product and economic requirements for the Tech Subledger, including: Cost and usage models, Technology ownership, Attribution and shared-cost treatment, Historical lineage and effective dating, Reconciliation and data quality, Forecasts and commitments, Economic definitions and controls
Partner with data and platform engineering teams that own technical architecture, pipelines, security, reliability, and implementation.
Expand Beyond Traditional FinOps
Over time, extend TIDP into broader technology investment management, including: Cloud, infrastructure, and data-platform economics, AI consumption and unit economics, SaaS and software utilization, Vendor contracts and commitments, Migration and decommission economics, Total cost of ownership, Technology investment planning, Business cases and value realization
Help leadership answer questions such as: What is driving technology spend and consumption? Which costs can technology owners influence? Where are we underutilizing technology or contractual commitments? What is the cost of the products and services we operate? Which technologies should we expand, optimize, consolidate, migrate, or retire? Are technology investments producing the expected outcomes?
Build Decision Products, Not Just Dashboards
Develop experiences that help users understand: What changed? Why? Who owns it? What action should be considered? What is the expected impact? Did the action produce the expected result?
Translate between technical consumption, financial economics, product decisions, and business outcomes.

Requirements

Significant experience in technical product management, technology economics, FinOps, TBM/ITFM, data products, technology strategy, platform management, or a related discipline.
Demonstrated ownership of a complex product or capability from problem discovery through roadmap, delivery, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
Strong understanding of technology economics, including several of the following: Cost and usage, Forecasting, Unit economics, Attribution and allocation, Optimization, Business cases and investment analysis
Technical fluency sufficient to work credibly with engineering and architecture teams on data models, data quality, lineage, integrations, cloud platforms, and platform architecture.
Ability to translate complex technical and financial information into clear decisions for senior leaders.
Experience working across Engineering, Product, Finance, Procurement, Data, and Operations.
Demonstrated ability to influence distributed teams and senior stakeholders.
Strong analytical, written, and executive communication skills.
Experience in one or more of the following is valuable but not required: FinOps or cloud economics, Technology Business Management / IT Financial Management, Data-platform or enterprise-data product management, Technology strategy or Technology COO organizations, Technology FP&A, SaaS, software, or vendor economics, AI economics / AI FinOps, Technology portfolio or investment management, FOCUS or FinOps Foundation frameworks, Cloud and enterprise data platforms, SQL and analytical tooling.
Ability to operate at the intersection of: Technology + Product + Data + Finance + Investment Decision-Making
Comfortable discussing architecture and data with engineers, attribution and forecasting with Finance, contracts and commitments with Procurement, product economics with technology owners, and investment trade-offs with executives.
