Technical Product Owner – Fixed Income Data

About the Role:

Grade Level (for internal use):

11

The Team:

Product Platform Design (PPD) is responsible for the design, build, and evolution of SPDJI’s core product platforms that support index creation, calculation, rebalance, analytics, and distribution. PPD operates using a product-led, service-based delivery model and is organised into value streams aligned to major business domains. The team works closely with Index Management, R&D, Operations, and Technology to deliver scalable, reusable platforms that support the full index lifecycle across asset classes.

Responsibilities and Impact:

We are recruiting a Product Owner to join the Equity value stream within the Product Platform Design (PPD) organisation. This is a hybrid Product Owner / Business Analyst role, working closely with the Value Stream Lead to shape product direction while owning the detailed definition, prioritisation, and delivery of work for one or more agile teams.

The role requires strong understanding of the index business, hands-on engagement with technology teams, and the ability to translate requirements across Index Management, R&D, Technology, and Operations.

• Partner with the Value Stream Lead on roadmap input and prioritisation

• Gather, analyse, and translate business requirements into epics, features, and user stories

• Own and manage the team backlog in Azure DevOps (ADO)

• Define acceptance criteria and support agile ceremonies

• Act as a translator between business and technology, tailoring communication for different audiences

• Perform hands-on user acceptance testing (UAT)

• Identify cross-platform dependencies and collaborate with other Product Owners across PPD

• Support delivery in a service-based, multi-team operating model

What We’re Looking For:

Basic Required Qualifications:

• Experience as a Product Owner, Business Analyst, or hybrid PO/BA in an agile environment

• Strong understanding of index products and operational workflows

• Comfortable engaging in technical discussions and simplifying complexity

• Experience managing backlogs using ADO or equivalent tools

• Strong analytical and stakeholder management skills
   

Platform Alignment
This role sits within the horizontal Data Platforms function in PPD, but with a primary focus on supporting the fixed income asset class. The PO acts as the bridge between asset-class value streams and the shared data platform, ensuring asset-specific requirements are well understood, prioritised, and delivered in a way that remains aligned with common platform standards.

This role is suited to a PO who:

• Has deep asset-class knowledge (e.g. fixed income market data, corporate actions, classifications, calendars)

• Understands how asset-specific data nuances impact index calculation, rebalance, and analytics platforms

• Can translate asset-class requirements into reusable data services rather than bespoke solutions

• Works closely with value-stream POs (e.g. T3, FI3, multi-asset) to manage dependencies and sequencing

• Advocates for data quality, timeliness, and operational robustness from an asset-class perspective
   

The PO must strike a balance between representing asset-class needs and protecting the integrity of the shared data platform. Success requires strong domain expertise, pragmatic decision-making, and the ability to influence without fragmenting the platform into asset-specific silos.
