About The Position

S&P Dow Jones Indices is seeking a highly technical and commercially driven Director, Multi-Asset Product Management to join our Multi-Asset Product Management team in New York.

The role will support a broad range of index-linked investment solutions, including ETFs, structured products, insurance products, derivatives overlay strategies, volatility-controlled strategies, and other multi-asset applications.

The Multi-Asset Product Management team at S&P Dow Jones Indices is responsible for setting product strategy, driving product development, and managing the long-term commercial success of a global suite of multi-asset indices. The team develops solutions for a broad range of client segments, including banks, asset managers, ETF issuers, insurance companies, wealth platforms, and institutional investors. The product suite includes strategies focused on index-linked insurance products, structured products, derivatives overlays, volatility control, retirement solutions, asset allocation, and other systematic multi-asset strategies. The team has a global mandate and works closely with regional commercial teams and clients to identify market opportunities, launch innovative index solutions, and support adoption of S&P DJI’s multi-asset capabilities.
