Job Summary

We're rebuilding how the Platform organization operates at Mercer Advisors — and we need someone who makes sure that transformation actually lands. This is not a coordinator role. This is not a status-tracker. This is the operating nerve center of a modern Platform org, and you'll own the systems, cadences, and discipline that determine whether we ship the right things, in the right order, at the right speed.

This role owns four things at a high level: roadmap planning and management; the end-to-end development process from intake through delivery; execution across the Platform org; and a set of shared platform utilities — including budget and resource tracking, platform metrics, vendor coordination, and serving as the primary conduit between the Platform org and central functions like compliance, legal, finance, and BI.

You'll work directly with and on behalf of the Chief Platform Officer. You give leadership clear visibility into what's on track, what's at risk, and what needs a decision. You raise unblockers before they become blockers. You carry real authority across engineering, product, and data to define how work gets done and hold the org to it. When people ask what the Platform org committed to this quarter and how we're doing against it — your answer will be the answer.

Essential Job Functions

1) Roadmap Planning and Management

Own and facilitate the quarterly and annual roadmap planning process — connecting business goals to squad capacity to committed delivery. Keep the rhythm consistent and the process honest: no sandbagging, no last-minute pivots that weren't surfaced early.
Prepare and deliver Advisors Leadership Forum (ALF) updates on behalf of the Platform org. These should be clear, well-framed, and ready — no deck that takes three hours to produce, no spin. Platform leadership should be able to walk in with confidence in what's being presented.
Organize and run sprint demos that are worth attending: tight, outcomes-focused, and useful to leadership. Run retrospectives that actually change behavior — not sessions that produce a parking lot and no follow-through. Own the connection between what we planned, what we shipped, and what we learned.

2) Development Process

Design and own the end-to-end development process — from intake and requirements through build and delivery. This is the agile operating model for the Platform org: how requests are evaluated, how work is sized and scoped, how it moves through the system, and how changes to scope get approved. These aren't suggestions — they're the standard.
