The Opportunity

We’re looking for a Manager, Investment Platforms to help shape the strategy, governance and delivery of the Agency’s third-party investment platforms within our Investment Technology function.

This is a high-impact role sitting at the intersection of Investments, Data, Operations and Technology — working closely with Investment Teams, senior investment leaders, and our DOT partners to ensure our platforms are well-governed, resilient, optimised and aligned to Investment priorities.

You’ll be part of a dedicated horizontal capability for third-party platforms, responsible for defining the platform target state, setting governance and operating models, co-managing vendor relationships (with IDM), and leading specialist delivery in a live investment environment. This role is reporting to the Senior Manager, Platform Strategy, and you’ll also lead up to two direct reports.

Key Responsibilities

• Contribute to and execute the platform roadmap for third-party investment platforms, aligned to long-term Agency strategy

• Work with Investment Teams and DOT to define, prioritise and sequence platform capability uplift (balancing local needs with scalable enterprise solutions)

• Help establish and evolve platform governance, ownership and operating models (including initiative pipeline and roadmaps)

• Act as a trusted advisor to Investment Teams on how to get the most out of third-party platforms to support decision-making and portfolio management

• Partner with Investments to shape requirements and deliver fit-for-purpose platform solutions, ensuring a single, coherent engagement across DOT

• Lead and coordinate delivery across strategic programs, business-led projects and BAU enhancements — with strong tracking, reporting and transparency

• Ensure solutions meet non-functional expectations (security, availability, reliability, recoverability, usability) and are operationally supported once live

• Drive strong governance discipline — ensuring initiatives are reviewed, endorsed and approved through the right forums

• Build trusted relationships across Investments and DOT (including Investment Delivery & Platforms, Security, IDM and Investment Operations)

• Maintain a clear view of emerging Investment platform and data needs, and translate them into prioritised action

• Co-manage key vendor relationships with IDM, ensuring performance, clarity of accountability and alignment with Future Fund objectives

About You

You’re someone who enjoys working to bring clarity, structure and momentum to a complex ecosystem of investors, data, platforms and delivery teams. You bring a practical, hands-on style, strong judgement, and the confidence to lead across stakeholders who are time-poor and highly expert.

You bring:

• Significant experience delivering technology and data solutions for investment management teams, with a solid understanding of core investment concepts and workflows

• Hands-on experience with enterprise investment platforms (for example Aladdin or similar), including configuration, data flows, integrations and supporting users in production

• Strong capability in governance, prioritisation and delivery across multiple concurrent demands

• Confidence facilitating workshops and aligning stakeholders across Investments and Technology

• Strong relationship-building and communication skills — able to translate complexity into clear direction and practical next steps

• Experience working with modern delivery approaches and integration patterns (data flows, system integration, user experience considerations)

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Finance, Commerce or similar

• Desirable: finance qualification (e.g. CFA)

Which is why we’re looking for future minds like yours. Your past experiences help us expand our collective knowledge, add value and create something better. When doing your job means Australia has more money to invest in renewables, education, healthcare and medical breakthroughs – there’s a tangible impact to what we do.
