Product Manager – X-Asset Financing Platform

Key responsibilities

Do you enjoy turning complex financing and collateral workflows into strategic, data-driven platforms?

Are you excited by the opportunity to shape a new cross-asset financing platform from the ground up, working directly with traders, structurers and quants?

We're looking for a Product Manager to

• own the product vision, roadmap and end-to-end delivery of a strategic X-Asset Financing platform supporting Structured Financing and Fund Financing businesses
• lead the transition from vendor tools, spreadsheets and end-user computing (EUC) solutions to an integrated, controlled in-house platform built on our strategic ACQA analytics platform
• translate complex requirements from Front Office, Credit, Risk and Operations into clear user stories, acceptance criteria and a prioritised product backlog
• shape capabilities for collateral and loan data ingestion, data standardisation, borrowing-base and covenant calculations, eligibility and concentration tests, trigger monitoring, and trade- and portfolio-level analytics and dashboards
• make sure the platform is designed for data quality, reconciliation, auditability and historical snapshots, with controls built into the workflow
• drive EUC remediation and decommissioning, working with control functions to agree which tools move to the strategic platform and when
• coordinate a multi-location delivery team of engineers and quants across London, New York and Shanghai, track progress and remove blockers across business and technology
• prioritise investment based on business value, risk reduction, control and regulatory requirements, and delivery dependencies
• drive adoption and continuous improvement by working closely with desk users and validating solutions against real workflows
