With a heritage dating back more than 175 years, we have a long history of innovation in savings and investments, combining asset management and insurance expertise to offer a wide range of solutions. \nOur two distinct operating segments, Asset Management and Life, work together to provide access to balanced, long-term investment and savings solutions.\nThrough telling it like it is, owning it now and moving it forward together with care and integrity; we are creating an exceptional place to work for exceptional talent.\nWe will consider flexible working arrangements for any of our roles and offer workplace adjustments to ensure you have the support you need to succeed in your role.\nThe Opportunity:\nData and AI are at the heart of how we plan to grow our Asset Management business. We are modernising how data is sourced, engineered and consumed across the firm. The goal is trusted, reusable data products that support investment decisions, client reporting, regulatory submissions and a growing range of AI use cases.\nAs Senior Data Product Manager, you will report to the Head of Data Products and own the roadmap, requirements and priorities for a portfolio of data products. You will be the main link between the business and our data teams. You will turn business needs across investment, client, operations and regulatory areas into clear, well-prioritised data products that our engineering, analytics and AI teams can deliver.\nThis is a business-facing product role, not a project management or reporting role. We want someone who understands investment data, can challenge vague requirements, and makes clear prioritisation decisions based on business value. Success is measured by business outcomes and adoption, not just by what gets delivered.\nWhat You will Do:\nEngage the business and shape demand\nBuild strong, trusted relationships with business stakeholders, including investment teams, client and distribution, operations, risk and regulatory reporting. \nUnderstand business processes, pain points and opportunities, and identify where data products can deliver the most value. \nLead demand intake for your domain, challenging requests to find the real business problem and use case before work is committed. \nAct as the voice of the data consumer, making sure products are designed around how people actually use data. \nOwn requirements and data product definition\nTranslate business needs into clear, outcome-driven requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria that data engineering teams can deliver. \nDefine each data product, including its purpose, consumers, business definitions, critical data elements, source systems and service levels. \nWork with data engineering and analysis teams to define data contracts, data quality rules and lineage, so products are trusted and auditable from the start. \nIdentify data needs and dependencies early in change initiatives, so data is designed in rather than discovered midway through delivery. \nPrioritise the roadmap and backlog\nOwn the roadmap and backlog for your data product portfolio, aligned to the data strategy and agreed with business owners. \nPrioritise features using clear criteria such as business value, regulatory need, risk, effort and dependencies, and explain the trade-offs openly. \nBalance new change, BAU enhancements and technical debt within ring-fenced capacity, and report clearly on progress and resource use. \nMake and communicate scope decisions, saying no or not yet when needed, and prevent duplicated or one-off solutions. \nDrive adoption and measure value\nDefine success measures for each data product, such as adoption, data quality, timeliness, reuse and business benefit, and track them after release. \nLead acceptance, launch and adoption, making sure products are tested, documented, published in the data marketplace and ready to use. \nGather consumer feedback and use it to improve products, retire low-value outputs and consolidate overlapping data sets. \nEnable AI-ready data products\nWork with Analytics and AI teams to make data products AI-ready, with clear business definitions and semantic models that support analytics, GenAI and agentic use cases. \nUse AI-assisted tools to speed up requirements analysis, data discovery and documentation, with appropriate human oversight. \nWhat You will Bring:\nSignificant experience in data product management, product ownership or senior business data analysis, within Asset Management or Financial Services. \nStrong knowledge of investment data, such as instruments, portfolios, positions, transactions, performance, client and reference data, across public or private markets. \nA track record of owning a data product roadmap and backlog, and making clear, value-based prioritisation decisions with senior stakeholders. \nExcellent requirements analysis skills, with the ability to turn ambiguous business needs into clear requirements, data definitions and acceptance criteria. \nConfidence engaging and influencing senior business stakeholders, including challenging requirements constructively and managing competing priorities. \nGood understanding of data management and governance, including data quality, lineage, data contracts, cataloguing and critical data elements. \nEnough technical understanding of modern data platforms, such as Snowflake, data modelling and ELT, to work credibly with engineers and judge feasibility. \nA collaborative approach, working as one team with Data Engineering, Analytics, AI, Delivery, Testing and offshore colleagues to manage dependencies and agree priorities. \nExperience working in a data product, data mesh or hub-and-spoke data operating model. \nAwareness of regulatory and reporting requirements relevant to asset management, such as client reporting, SFDR and other regulatory submissions. \nSkills and Tools:\nProduct discovery, roadmap and backlog management \nRequirements analysis, user stories and acceptance criteria \nBusiness process mapping and data mapping \nSQL for data exploration and validation \nAgile delivery tools, such as Jira and Confluence \nData catalogue, data quality and lineage tools \nProduct metrics and adoption tracking \nWhy Join Us:\nThis is a chance to shape how our business gets value from data at a pivotal moment. You will own data products that sit at the centre of our data and AI ambitions and have real influence over what we build and why.\nYou will see the direct impact of your work on how we invest, serve our clients and operate. If you want to bring the business and data together and build data products people actually use, this is the role.\nWork Level: Manager/Expert\nLocation: London\nWhat we offer:\nWe’re dedicated to supporting your wellbeing and helping you thrive, both at work and beyond.
