About The Position

We are seeking an experienced Position Management Product Owner to define and govern the firm’s end‑to‑end position data standards, sourcing rules, intraday vs. end‑of‑day (EOD) treatment policies, and data quality outcomes across the platform lifecycle. This role sits at the intersection of Investment Operations, data governance, and technology, serving as the authoritative business owner for position data across the firm’s IBOR, ABOR, and risk platforms. The role is critical to ensuring accurate position record‑keeping, lifecycle integrity, and alignment between transactional activity, accounting outputs, and downstream consumers such as P&L, performance, risk, and reporting.

Deep knowledge of position lifecycle management, including intraday updates, EOD reconciliation, multi‑custodian sourcing, and complex lifecycle events across multi‑asset strategies.
Strong understanding of IBOR and ABOR frameworks, trade lifecycle events (settlement, corporate actions, FX), and their impact on positions, P&L, performance, and risk.
Proven experience as a business owner or subject‑matter expert for position management or investment book of record platforms.
Experience supporting or leading platform migrations, with demonstrated ability to define standards and resolve sourcing inconsistencies.
Strong communication skills with the ability to explain complex data and accounting concepts to senior stakeholders.

Responsibilities

Own and maintain firm‑wide position data definitions, sourcing rules, and intraday vs. EOD treatment policies across asset classes, strategies, and legal entities.
Establish and govern the position data source‑of‑truth hierarchy, ensuring consistency and traceability across front‑, middle‑, and back‑office platforms.
Serve as the business owner for position management technology platforms, translating accounting and operational requirements into prioritized roadmaps and functional specifications.
Partner with Data, Technology, Portfolio Management, Risk, and Operations teams to define and enforce data quality standards, exception thresholds, and remediation workflows.
Drive position data alignment across legacy and target‑state platforms, ensuring lifecycle event logic and sourcing rules are documented, tested, and validated during migration.
Act as the primary escalation point for position data disputes, sourcing conflicts, and lifecycle interpretation questions.
Define and maintain position‑level valuation inputs and P&L attribution rules, ensuring consistency between cost basis methodologies, realized/unrealized P&L, and downstream reporting.
