About the Role

Grade Level (for internal use): 13

The Team

Product Platform Design (PPD) designs, builds, and evolves SPDJI’s core product platforms that support index creation, calculation, rebalance, analytics, and distribution . We operate a product-led, service-based delivery model and are organised into value streams aligned to major business domains. The Fixed Income Value Stream partners closely with Index Management, R&D, Operations, Data, and Technology to deliver scalable, reusable platform capabilities that support the full index lifecycle across asset classes.

The Impact

As a hybrid Product Owner / Business Analyst in the Fixed Income Value Stream, you will translate index-business needs into clear platform capabilities that teams can build, test, and deliver. Your work will directly improve platform reliability, scalability, and reuse-enabling faster delivery of fixed income index capabilities while reducing fragmentation across legacy systems.

A key focus of this role is leading a high-impact Fixed Income platform consolidation and migration programme -aligning stakeholders, governing delivery, and ensuring operational readiness for cutovers and post migration stability.

What’s in it for You

• Lead a strategic platform migration programme that modernises how fixed income indices are produced and supported end to end.
• Work in a product led environment with strong partnership across Index Management, Operations, Data, and Technology.
• Influence roadmap priorities and delivery sequencing, balancing short term migration needs with longer term platform capability.
• Develop breadth across index lifecycle domains (data mastering, calculation, rebalances, distribution, analytics) in a highly cross functional setting.
• Operate with real ownership-driving clarity from ambiguity and improving how teams plan, govern, and deliver.

Responsibilities

• Partner with the Value Stream Lead to shape product direction, define roadmaps, and set delivery priorities for the Fixed Income Value Stream.
• Translate business outcomes into epics, features, and user stories with clear scope, dependencies, and acceptance criteria.
• Own and maintain the agile team backlog in Azure DevOps (ADO) , ensuring prioritisation, refinement cadence, and backlog hygiene.
• Provide transparent delivery tracking through ADO dashboards, release notes, and regular stakeholder updates; manage expectations against agreed timelines.
• Lead and facilitate agile ceremonies (refinement, planning, reviews, retros) and support consistent execution across one or more teams.
• Act as a translator between business and technology-communicating complex topics clearly to diverse audiences.
• Perform functional validation; coordinate end user testing/UAT; capture bugs and enhancements into the backlog; and coordinate retest cycles to closure.
• Identify cross platform dependencies and collaborate with other Product Owners across PPD to sequence work and manage integration risks.
• Support delivery in a service based, multi team operating model, ensuring intake and prioritisation are clear and repeatable.
• Lead the overall Fixed Income migration programme, defining the delivery approach, timeline, sequencing, and cutover strategy to migrate indices from multiple legacy platforms into the consolidated platform.
• Own the integrated migration plan, coordinating workstreams, dependencies, and milestones to keep delivery on track and stakeholders aligned on readiness.
• Drive cross functional execution across Product, Technology, Operations, Index Management, and Data teams; surface risks early and manage issues through resolution.
• Establish and run governance routines (working sessions, milestone reviews, risk/issue management, decision tracking) to maintain momentum and remove blockers quickly.
• Translate migration needs into prioritised ADO backlog items, ensuring teams have well defined scope, acceptance criteria, and transparent progress tracking.
• Ensure end to end readiness for cutover by coordinating entry/exit criteria, operational readiness activities, stakeholder sign offs, and post migration stabilisation support.
• Maintain proactive stakeholder communication on progress, scope changes, risks, and decision points-ensuring consistent expectations across senior stakeholders and delivery teams.
• Provide oversight across critical migration components including data migration, data mastering, capability gap closure, and legacy to new reconciliation-ensuring each is planned, sequenced, and delivered within the overall programme.

What We’re Looking For Basic Required Qualifications

• Experience in Product Owner and/or Business Analyst roles in an agile environment, owning backlogs and translating requirements into deliverable work.
• Experience in platform or systems migration and/or major change delivery , including dependency management, governance routines, and cutover readiness.
• Strong understanding of fixed income index products , index lifecycle processes, and the operational workflows required to calculate, rebalance, validate, and distribute indices.
• Demonstrated ability to write clear epics, features, user stories, and acceptance criteria, and to drive alignment on “definition of done.”
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence across Product, Technology, Operations, Index Management, and Data-especially in complex, multi team delivery.
• Comfortable engaging in technical discussions and simplifying complexity (e.g., data flows, integrations, platform capabilities) for non technical audiences.
• Hands on experience managing delivery workflow and reporting via Azure DevOps (ADO) (or equivalent), including dashboards and release communications.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a delivery mindset-able to prioritise effectively and keep progress moving in a fast changing environment.
• We require all candidates who reach the final stage of our interview process to attend at least one in person interview, which is ordinarily at your nearest S&P Global office. This must be completed before we can proceed to an offer.
