About the Team

The Investment Value Stream (IVS) is the product and technology function supporting EQT's investment organization, covering the end-to-end lifecycle process. We serve investment professionals, committee members & executives across business lines and asset classes, including across deal services, operations & control functions

You will lead the product function for pre-deal and deal & relationship management activities within IVS, comprising a team of product managers, engineers and designers.

About the Role

Senior product leadership in EQT's Investment Value Stream, covering pre-deal intelligence, diligence & deal execution alongside end-to-end deal and relationship management.

The Head of IVS sets overall portfolio strategy with business line leadership; whereby you will own multiple products & initiatives formulating part of this view. Each requires coherent product visions, strategic & cross-product roadmaps, sequencing, engagement & communications plans, with consistent delivery of capabilities & value to the business.

Scope is deliberately open-ended and will likely expand over time, with much of the role centred on driving business process, tech & AI transformation at the core of EQT.

What You'll Do

• Own product strategy, cross-product initiatives and roadmaps across pre-deal, and deal & relationship management lifecycle; building clear objectives and measurement criteria
• Driving transformation alongside product builds — programme & project management, process re-design, new ways of working, driving adoption across business lines
• Arbitrate competing demand & objectives across business lines & stakeholder groups; creation of decision frameworks, optimization criteria and sequencing
• Deep-dive selectively: take direct, hands-on product ownership of a capability when it requires a ramp-up, or when other strategic initiatives are blocked. Ability to also dive into technical data concepts including data modelling, pipelines, graphs and context management in conjunction with engineering teams
• Represent the product portfolio & stakeholder interests in SteerCo and governance forums: contributing to core content, narrative development, and decision-making, whilst communicating impact with rigour
• Key role in building out a stronger product organisation – coaching other team members, providing domain expertise, setting the bar on proactive relationship development, requirements discovery, prioritization, value quantification & delivery

Above all, you’re naturally curious on where technology can truly create value in private markets, with an underlying drive & collaborative mindset to make it happen.
