The Director, Data Strategy & Engineering role at Portage Point represents a unique opportunity to define and execute the firm’s data platform vision for the India delivery organization. This Director will own the strategic direction of all data assets, architecture, governance and capability building that underpin the firm’s AI product portfolio and consulting analytics services, spanning high-value use cases including commercial and financial due diligence (CDD/FDD), value creation tracking, working capital optimization, restructuring scenario analysis, portfolio company performance benchmarking and management information system (MIS) intelligence layers. Reporting to the India Delivery Leader as a peer to the Director, AI Solutions, and partnering closely with US-based Practice Line Leaders, this Director will lead a team of two to three Vice Presidents and their Senior Associates (approximately 15 to 20 professionals) across data engineering, analytics engineering and data governance, owning hiring, vendor partner management and capability development across the function. This person will operate as a true data executive within the India capability centre — influencing how data is collected, structured, governed and commercialized across the firm’s global consulting practice, and representing the firm externally as a subject matter expert on data strategy in deal advisory and portfolio management. If you are a senior data leader with deep technical depth and a consulting or professional services background who wants to define how data and AI transform a high-growth advisory firm, this is the right role for you.
