Product Lead, Data Licensing

Polymarket•New York, NY

About The Position

Polymarket is seeking a Product Lead, Data Licensing to manage the products developed around their market data and the program for institutional customers. This role involves deciding what data to package and license, identifying target customers, determining pricing, and overseeing delivery. The Product Lead will collaborate with the Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) product team to distribute these products to institutions, leveraging ICE's existing customer base and exploring new markets for prediction market data. The position requires a blend of technical product specification and commercial engagement, including client-facing responsibilities. The individual will be the sole owner of this program, responsible for the roadmap, packaging, pricing, partner relationships, and client interactions.

Requirements

7+ years in product management, market data, or a commercial role in financial data, with direct ownership of a product or program that generated revenue
Deep familiarity with how market data is packaged, licensed, and priced
Experience selling to or working with institutional clients such as hedge funds, banks, proprietary trading firms, or data vendors
Strong product instincts. You can write a spec, prioritize a roadmap, and say no to the request that doesn't make the cut
Comfortable being the commercial face of a product. Pricing conversations, client calls, and partner reviews are things you seek out rather than avoid
Enough technical fluency to work credibly with data engineers on feed design, latency, and delivery, and to read a schema without help
A self-starter who is comfortable being the only person on the program. You'd rather build the function than inherit one
Genuine interest in the business. You want to understand why market-priced probabilities are valuable and who they're valuable to

Nice To Haves

Experience at an exchange, market data vendor, index provider, or financial data platform
Experience launching a data product through a distribution or reseller partner
Familiarity with prediction markets, crypto, or on-chain data

Responsibilities

Own the data licensing product end-to-end, including what we package, who we sell it to, how it's priced, and why it's worth paying for
Serve as the primary product counterpart to ICE's team, running the joint roadmap and translating their distribution requirements into what we build
Define the data products themselves: real-time event probabilities, order book depth, trade prints, and historical archives, along with the tiers and entitlements that separate them
Work directly with institutional clients, including hedge funds, banks, proprietary trading firms, and media, to learn what they would actually consume and turn that into roadmap
Build the commercial narrative for why prediction market data is differentiated, and equip ICE's distribution teams to tell it
Own pricing and packaging, including how tiers are structured, what a license permits, and how deals are structured for different client types
Partner with data engineering on delivery: feed architecture, latency, uptime SLAs, and the reliability institutional clients expect
Work with legal and compliance on licensing terms, redistribution rights, and market data policy
Own the program's metrics, including licensing revenue, client adoption, and feed usage
Write end-to-end documentation that's clear and thorough enough that anyone selling, supporting, or building on the product understands what it is and what it isn't
