Ares is seeking a principal-level technology leader to serve as Head of Institutional and Client Relationship Management (CRM) Technology, responsible for the strategy and delivery of capabilities that support the firm’s institutional client and investor workflows.

This role will partner with business and technology leadership to define and deliver platforms to support the full lifecycle of institutional investor engagement—from prospecting and fundraising (sales, sales enablement, marketing) through investor onboarding and post-close investor relationship management.

Reporting to the Managing Director, Head of Client / Investor Technology, the successful candidate will also serve as the senior technology owner for the firm’s institutional CRM ecosystem, partnering closely with the Head of Wealth Management and Analytics Technology, Global Client Solutions, Investor Relations, Capital Formation, Client Operations, and Marketing teams across Institutional and Wealth/Retail channels to deliver a highly scalable and integrated platform that powers fundraising and client engagement.

This role is a hands-on technology leader responsible for defining platform architecture, establishing development standards, and leading a high-performing team of architects, developers, and analysts. The leader will support complex alternatives fundraising workflows, institutional client management, pipeline visibility, and data-driven investor engagement across the global platform.

The successful candidate brings deep expertise in engineering within asset management or alternatives firms, combined with strong understanding of institutional fundraising processes, investor relationship management, and enterprise CRM data architecture. This role requires a leader who can balance platform engineering rigor, business partnership, and long-term platform strategy with incremental delivery of business value, ensuring that the ecosystem becomes a durable and scalable foundation for Ares’ institutional distribution capabilities.
