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

2. 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

3. 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; ensu
