Head of Technology & Data Business - Indonesia

ABOUT IIX GLOBAL

IIX (Impact Investment Exchange) is a Singapore-headquartered pioneer in impact investing, connecting capital markets with sustainable development. For over a decade, IIX has been building the infrastructure for impact — structuring innovative financial instruments, running donor-funded development programs, and developing digital platforms that serve impact investors, enterprises, and communities across Asia and beyond.

Our work spans impact-linked securities, blended finance, gender-lens investing, and climate finance — always with the goal of mobilizing private capital for social and environmental good. Over 17 years, IIX has:

• Mobilized nearly $500M in private-sector capital
• Positively impacted over 160 million lives
• Avoided over 1.9 million metric tons of carbon
• Collected over 90,000+ data points on sustainable MSMEs

We are a lean, mission-obsessed team. Everyone here wears multiple hats, moves fast, and cares deeply about the work. If that energizes you, you’ll thrive at IIX.

ROLE PURPOSE

IIX is seeking a Head of Technology & Data Business to turn IIX’s data, platforms, and impact expertise into standalone, revenue-generating technology products. This is a business leadership role, not a traditional technology lead: you will own the commercial success of technology and data at IIX, not just the delivery of platforms and projects.

IIX Fintech brings together IIX Values™ (impact measurement and ESG data), Impact Partners™ (enterprise and investor connectivity), and IIX Intelligence (data and analytics). You will lead commercial strategy, monetization, the product portfolio, data strategy, partnerships, and the unit’s P&L.

You inherit a live pipeline. Two priority pilots are in development:

Proofloop

, the next generation of IIX Values impact verification, and

Capital OS

, the next generation of Impact Partners investor matching. A flagship launch is targeted for the Singapore Fintech Festival 2027. Success means a product-led, tech-led business unit with paying institutional customers and a repeatable process for finding, building, and taking new products to market.

YOUR TEAM

You will lead a distributed team across Indonesia, India, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka:

• Product Leadership — discovery, roadmap, requirements, prioritization, and design partners (pilot clients).
• Data Product — methodology, models, datasets, analytics, and rapid prototyping.
• Engineering — architecture, APIs, systems of record, delivery, and reliability.
• Sales & Monetization — a new [VP] role you will hire, driving pipeline development and sales execution.
• UX/UI Design — a new role you will hire, owning user flows and interface design.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Commercial Strategy & P&L

• Own overall commercial outcomes for IIX Fintech: P&L, revenue targets, budget, pricing, and unit economics
• Set commercial strategy, targets, and pricing; the Sales & Monetization lead drives pipeline development and sales execution against them
• Build and execute a 3–5 year growth strategy that positions IIX as a technology-driven player in impact finance
• Lead closing of strategic contracts with institutional clients, investors, and partners
• Scan the market continuously — strategy meetings, industry conferences, competitor tracking — to identify white spaces where IIX has a defensible value proposition

1. Product Portfolio & Go-to-Market

• Take Proofloop and Capital OS from pilot to paying customers, including the flagship launch at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2027
• Run a product-led process: customer discovery first, then build — working backwards from customer problems, not internal specifications
• Require evidence of willingness to pay (such as design partner commitments, letters of intent, or paid pilots) before committing significant development resources
• Manage the product roadmap and prioritization with the Product Lead; recruit design partners to test new products
• Define pricing, packaging, and positioning for institutional buyers — investors, financial institutions, corporates, and development finance institutions

1. Data Strategy & Monetization

• Build a shared data foundation (90,000+ MSME data points, impact verification data) that enables multiple products across IIX Fintech
• Pursue external data monetization only where there is a validated customer need
• Oversee methodology, models, and datasets with the Data Product team; ensure data privacy and compliance standards are met

1. Embedding Product Thinking Across IIX

• Work with business unit leads to identify and package their own products and pilots, so product-led thinking is distributed across IIX
• Partner with Asset Management and Advisory to embed data and analytics into investment strategies, client reporting, and advisory solutions
• Engage IIX Institute as an integration partner on certification and training linked to IIX Values scoring

1. Team Leadership

• Lead a distributed team spanning product, data, engineering, sales, and design
• Hire the Sales & Monetization lead and UX/UI Designer, and build the team as products scale
• Set team KPIs, operating rhythm, and a culture of rapid iteration, ownership, and learning from failure
• Balance support for existing platforms with protected capacity for new product development
• Recruit, mentor, and retain top talent aligned with IIX’s mission and PREM values

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• First 90 days:

Take over Proofloop and Capital OS; validate pricing with at least 3 target customers; hire the Sales & Monetization lead and UX/UI Designer; agree team KPIs and roadmap with leadership.

• 6 months:

At least 2 design partners live on a priority product; sales pipeline built against agreed lead, pipeline-value, and conversion targets.

• 12 months:

First signed revenue contracts; flagship product launched at the Singapore Fintech Festival 2027; repeatable product discovery process adopted by business units.

Targets are indicative and will be finalized with the line manager on joining.

Experience & Skills

• Typically 15+ years across fintech, digital platforms, financial services, or technology businesses; we prioritize demonstrated commercial ownership, product execution, and technical fluency over tenure
• Proven track record of taking technology products to market and generating revenue, with P&L or revenue ownership; founder, co-founder, or Chief Product Officer experience is a strong advantage
• A blend of structured corporate experience and startup or venture-building experience
• Hands-on understanding of the product and software development life cycle: discovery, roadmap, prototyping, release, and iteration
• B2B or enterprise sales to institutional buyers such as financial institutions, investors, DFIs, or governments
• Emerging markets experience in Southeast Asia, South Asia, or Africa, including navigating regulatory environments
• Experience leading distributed, multi-country teams
• Product management and go-to-market strategy, including pricing and packaging
• Data strategy and data product design; working familiarity with analytics tools (e.g., Python, SQL, BI tools) and AI/ML applications
• Strong grasp of UX/UI principles and user-centered design
• Understanding of financial markets and ESG/impact measurement preferred
• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Business Administration, or a related field; a Master’s is an advantage

The Person

• Commercial owner — measures success by revenue and customer adoption, not projects delivered
• Builder — comfortable creating products and teams from an early stage with limited resources
• Customer-obsessed — talks to customers before building
• Relationship-led — credible with investors, institutions, and senior internal stakeholders
• Bridges cultures — brings tech ways of working into a structured organization and brings leadership along
• Deep alignment with IIX’s mission of inclusive finance, gender equality, and climate action

HOW THIS TEAM WORKS

• Product-led — we talk to customers first and work backwards to what we build
• Rapid iteration — small pilots, fast feedback, and permission to fail as we find the winners
• Protected capacity — a defined share of engineering and product capacity is reserved for commercial pilots, so new products are not displaced by platform support
• Autonomy with decision rights — clear revenue and adoption KPIs, and clear authority over product priorities, pilot go/no-go, and pricing within the agreed budget
• Distributed, but together — the team meets in person for a working sprint each quarter in the region
