Job Title: Asset Backed Data Operations

Business Unit: Blackstone Credit and Insurance

Job Summary

Blackstone is seeking a Data Governance/Data Operations leader with deep expertise in Asset-Backed Finance (ABS) to own the end-to-end lifecycle of ABS data across private credit, insurance, and related investment platforms. In this role, you will establish and enforce governance standards, steward high-quality loan- and tranche-level datasets, and run mission-critical ABS data operations (ingestion, normalization, controls, and reporting). You will partner closely with the investment, risk, technology, accounting, and compliance teams to ensure data is accurate, timely, and decision-ready—supporting portfolio construction, surveillance, valuations, and regulatory reporting in a high-performance, regulated environment.

Key Responsibilities

ABF Data Operations

• Operationalize Key Performance Indicators for Asset Backed Deals into our central data warehouse.
• Coordinate pricing and analytics feeds (Bloomberg/ICE/Markit, rating agency data, Intex) and align them with internal valuation and risk models.
• Run daily/weekly controls around asset-based finance deals.
• Orchestrate data pipelines and APIs between warehouse (Snowflake), analytics (Intex/quant libraries), accounting (Axiom/Clearwater), and reporting (Sigma/BI).

Controls, Compliance, and Reporting

• Implement control frameworks for ABS data (pre-/post-ingestion checks, anomaly detection, duplicate prevention, referential integrity).
• Support insurer/statutory reporting (NAIC designations, SSAP 26R/43R data elements) and audit-readiness.
• Monitor covenant and performance triggers; produce surveillance dashboards (delinquencies, defaults, losses, CPR/CDR, CE levels, WAL, credit enhancement).
• Deliver executive-ready KPIs on data quality, operational SLAs, and portfolio impacts; lead remediation programs for systemic data issues.

Stakeholder Partnership

• Partner with PMs, research, and risk to deliver decision-ready ABS datasets for portfolio construction, hedging, and scenario analysis.
• Work with technology to implement scalable ETL, lineage, catalog, and data-access controls; coordinate with compliance/legal on data usage (including PII when applicable).
• Interface with external trustees, servicers, rating agencies, and data vendors; manage vendor SLAs and change notifications (file formats, delivery schedules).

Leadership and Change Management

• Build and mentor a high-performing ABS data ops/governance team; establish on-call coverage and incident response playbooks.
• Lead cross-functional projects (new deal onboarding, platform migrations, new vendor integrations) and manage timelines, testing, cutover, and post-implementation reviews.
• Promote data literacy across investment and operations teams; document standards and SOPs.

Qualifications

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in STEM, Finance, Business, Data Management, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
• 12+ years in data governance/data operations, with 7+ years directly in ABS across multiple sectors (Auto, Consumer/Marketplace, Equipment, RMBS/CMBS, CLO).
• Demonstrated ownership of ABS data pipelines, trustee/servicer integrations, waterfall inputs, and reconciliation processes at scale.

Technical Expertise

• SQL skills necessary. Python skills preferred.
• Hands-on experience with Snowflake (data warehousing), Sigma or similar BI, and Alation (catalog/lineage); familiarity with workflow/orchestration tools.
• Expertise with ABS analytics/data sources: Intex, Bloomberg, ICE/Markit, rating agency data (S&P, Moody’s, Fitch, KBRA); experience integrating identifiers and factors.
• Knowledge of accounting/reporting systems and GAAP/STAT considerations for ABS portfolios preferred.

Domain Knowledge

• Deep understanding of ABS structures and mechanics: collateral stratification, waterfall priorities, enhancement/triggers (OC/IC), factor updates, servicing metrics, and trustee reporting.
• Familiarity with valuation and risk concepts (pricing sources, model validation, and sensitivity and scenario analysis).
• Regulatory awareness relevant to buy-side ABS investors (e.g., Reg AB II data expectations, surveillance standards); audit and control requirements in a regulated environment.
