  • Collaborate with leadership and affiliated executives to align technology with advisor needs.
  • Facilitate working sessions to gather requirements to improve integrations across vendors and within Kestra's Digital Technology stack.
  • Communicate roadmap progress and vendor evaluations to stakeholders.
  • Define and implement a roadmap for migrating acquired firms onto Bluespring's preferred technology stack (CRM, portfolio management, planning tools, data platforms).
  • Oversee interoperability and security standards across systems, ensuring compliance and scalability.
  • Lead technical design sessions and coordinate API integrations, data migrations, and platform rationalization.
  • Evaluate and select best-in-class vendors to support Bluespring's unified ecosystem.
  • Negotiate contracts, manage vendor performance, and enforce governance standards.
  • Drive vendor optimization initiatives to reduce complexity and improve ROI.
  • Partner with M&A, Operations, Compliance, and Technology teams to align integration plans with business objectives.
  • Communicate technical strategy and progress to senior stakeholders and executive leadership.
  • Provide guidance and mentorship to technical consultants and project teams.
What You Bring
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Technology, or related field (MBA preferred).
  • 3+ years of industry experience, with a focus on technical M&A, due diligence and integration.
  • Proven track record in vendor technology evaluation, contract negotiation, and multi-system integration.
  • Expertise in CRM, portfolio accounting, financial planning, and API integration frameworks.
  • Strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills.
  • Deep understanding of cybersecurity, data migration, and infrastructure design.
  • Proficiency with Jira, Confluence, and integration tools.
