Blackstone is seeking a Data Governance/Data Operations leader with deep expertise in Asset-Backed Finance (ABS) to own the end-to-end lifecycle of ABS data across private credit, insurance, and related investment platforms. In this role, you will establish and enforce governance standards, steward high-quality loan- and tranche-level datasets, and run mission-critical ABS data operations (ingestion, normalization, controls, and reporting). You will partner closely with the investment, risk, technology, accounting, and compliance teams to ensure data is accurate, timely, and decision-ready—supporting portfolio construction, surveillance, valuations, and regulatory reporting in a high-performance, regulated environment.

  • ABF Data Operations Operationalize Key Performance Indicators for Asset Backed Deals into our central data warehouse.
  • Coordinate pricing and analytics feeds (Bloomberg/ICE/Markit, rating agency data, Intex) and align them with internal valuation and risk models.
  • Run daily/weekly controls around asset-based finance deals.
  • Orchestrate data pipelines and APIs between warehouse (Snowflake), analytics (Intex/quant libraries), accounting (Axiom/Clearwater), and reporting (Sigma/BI).
  • Implement control frameworks for ABS data (pre-/post-ingestion checks, anomaly detection, duplicate prevention, referential integrity).
  • Support insurer/statutory reporting (NAIC designations, SSAP 26R/43R data elements) and audit-readiness.
  • Monitor covenant and performance triggers; produce surveillance dashboards (delinquencies, defaults, losses, CPR/CDR, CE levels, WAL, credit enhancement).
  • Deliver executive-ready KPIs on data quality, operational SLAs, and portfolio impacts; lead remediation programs for systemic data issues.
  • Partner with PMs, research, and risk to deliver decision-ready ABS datasets for portfolio construction, hedging, and scenario analysis.
  • Work with technology to implement scalable ETL, lineage, catalog, and data-access controls; coordinate with compliance/legal on data usage (including PII when applicable).
  • Interface with external trustees, servicers, rating agencies, and data vendors; manage vendor SLAs and change notifications (file formats, delivery schedules).
  • Build and mentor a high-performing ABS data ops/governance team; establish on-call coverage and incident response playbooks.
  • Lead cross-functional projects (new deal onboarding, platform migrations, new vendor integrations) and manage timelines, testing, cutover, and post-implementation reviews.
  • Promote data literacy across investment and operations teams; document standards and SOPs.
  • Bachelor’s degree in STEM, Finance, Business, Data Management, or related field; advanced degree preferred.
  • 12+ years in data governance/data operations, with 7+ years directly in ABS across multiple sectors (Auto, Consumer/Marketplace, Equipment, RMBS/CMBS, CLO).
  • Demonstrated ownership of ABS data pipelines, trustee/servicer integrations, waterfall inputs, and reconciliation processes at scale.
  • SQL skills necessary.
  • Python skills preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with Snowflake (data warehousing), Sigma or similar BI, and Alation (catalog/lineage); familiarity with workflow/orchestration tools.
  • Expertise with ABS analytics/data sources: Intex, Bloomberg, ICE/Markit, rating agency data (S&P, Moody’s, Fitch, KBRA); experience integrating identifiers and factors.
  • Deep understanding of ABS structures and mechanics: collateral stratification, waterfall priorities, enhancement/triggers (OC/IC), factor updates, servicing metrics, and trustee reporting.
  • Familiarity with valuation and risk concepts (pricing sources, model validation, and sensitivity and scenario analysis).
  • Regulatory awareness relevant to buy-side ABS investors (e.g., Reg AB II data expectations, surveillance standards); audit and control requirements in a regulated environment.
  • Knowledge of accounting/reporting systems and GAAP/STAT considerations for ABS portfolios preferred.
  • comprehensive health benefits, including but not limited to medical, dental, vision, and FSA benefits
  • paid time off
  • life insurance
  • 401(k) plan
  • discretionary bonuses
  • Certain employees may also be eligible for equity and other incentive compensation at Blackstone’s sole discretion.
