The Technology Transformation and Execution Management Lead is a senior leadership role within the Chief Technology Officer’s office, responsible for driving disciplined execution of FactSet’s highest-priority technology initiatives. Reporting directly to the Chief Technology Officer, this leader will establish the structure, governance, and operating rhythm required to translate strategy into measurable results across the technology portfolio.

Operating at the intersection of strategy and delivery, this role ensures technology investments are grounded in clear business cases, sequenced appropriately, and executed with transparency and accountability. The Transformation and Execution Management Lead will provide executive and engineering leadership with a timely, fact-based view of portfolio health, progress, dependencies, and risk, enabling informed decision-making and timely intervention.

In addition, this role will oversee execution enablement capabilities, including the Program Management Office (PMO), set consistent standards for portfolio governance, delivery discipline, and change management across the technology organization. Success requires a combination of executive presence, strong program rigor, and organizational judgement, someone who can operate at the level of the CTO’s strategic agenda while remaining close to execution to anticipate risks and drive resolution.

Responsibilities:

Investment Decision Making:

Establish governance frameworks, templates, and standards ensuring technology investments include clear business cases, costs, timelines, and expected returns before approval

Partner with CTO, engineering, product, and finance leaders to embed investment rigor from business case development through value realization

Provide independent analytical challenge to investment proposals — stress-testing assumptions, delivery estimates, and surfacing trade-offs

Portfolio Orchestration:

Own the integrated cross-portfolio view of technology commitments, including dependencies, sequencing, and capacity constraints

Maintain a real-time, authoritative picture of what is planned, in flight, at risk, or constrained to enable rapid prioritization and trade-off decisions
