About The Position

The Multi-Asset Indices Product Management team at S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) is seeking a Senior Analyst to support its initiatives in both the US and globally. This is an exciting opportunity to join the team as a product manager, providing S&P DJI’s clients with indexing solutions in growing areas of the insurance, options overlay, and multi-asset investment universes. This multi-faceted role includes serving as the owner of the product development and maintenance process as well as the financial health of the product line. In developing solutions for a broad range of clients (insurance, banks, asset managers, etc.), our product suite focuses on strategies for index-linked insurance products, derivatives overlay strategies, retirement, and other multi-asset retirement strategies. The team has a global mandate for setting the product strategy and driving long-term success of the product line. In this role, you will support and promote our multi-asset index suite globally. You will play a key role in developing new and supporting existing multi-asset indices for all client types. You will also help develop, shape, and execute the multi-asset business strategy working with the sales organization. This is a highly technical role, but it also requires effective collaboration skills and a commercial-focused mindset to achieve the team’s strategic priorities. In addition to being a hands-on Product Manager, the candidate will need to collaborate with cross-functional teams to achieve strategic goals. The investment industry is in the midst of a tremendous structural shift brought about by technological changes and the shift from active to passive investing. This position sits squarely at the epicenter of this evolution. The role will provide exposure to multiple product types and asset classes within investment management. You will join a high performing team where you will have the opportunity to learn from local and international colleagues. The role will allow the Senior Analyst to have exposure to multiple groups within S&P DJI (Marketing and Communications, Channel management, Research & Design, Index Development, Client Coverage, and others), to clients such as insurance carriers, structured product desks, asset managers, exchanges, and other financial technology and data players.
