You will collaborate closely with Index Management, R&D, Operations, and Technology teams to deliver scalable, reusable data services.

The Impact:

As a Technical Product Owner for Fixed Income Data, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our product direction and ensuring the operational robustness of our data platforms. You will act as a trusted advisor on complex data issues, using your analytical perspective to weave new approaches and innovative ideas into our processes. By bridging the gap between business and technology, you will deliver solutions that balance specific asset‑class needs with the integrity of our shared data platform.

Responsibilities:

• Serve as the Product Owner within the value stream, combining PO and BA responsibilities to define, prioritize, and lead the detailed delivery of work for agile teams.

• Navigate incomplete or conflicting data to identify viable options and make pragmatic decisions in non‑routine situations.
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams (Index Management, R&D, Technology, Operations) and other Product Owners to manage cross‑platform dependencies and sequencing.
• Advocate for high data quality, timeliness, and operational robustness, ensuring asset‑specific requirements translate into reusable data services rather than bespoke silos.
• Define acceptance criteria, perform user acceptance testing (UAT), and actively support agile ceremonies.
• Proactively seek out new opportunities for innovation, leveraging the wider team and effective time management to ensure high‑quality delivery on deadlines.
• All employees are required to work from the office a minimum of 2 days per week.

Additional Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience working within a horizontal data platform function, successfully balancing specific asset‑class needs with shared platform integrity.
