Job summary

Global X ETFs is seeking a founding product owner for its ETF platform, focused on building an operating system for trading and portfolio management desks. You will shape the product function as the platform grows, balancing guided workflows with expert surfaces and delivering clickable prototypes to portfolio managers.

You will work in an AI-forward team, writing clear requirements, and defining adoption strategies with measurable business impact. Hybrid work model offered.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in product management, product ownership, or senior business analysis for investment or trading technology.
• Hands-on output: prototypes, demos, internal tools, or analyses you built yourself and would enjoy showing us, and fluent daily use of AI tooling to produce them.
• Working knowledge of the investment operations lifecycle: portfolio construction, order and execution flow, holdings, corporate actions, benchmarks, NAV, and reconciliation.
• Ownership of a platform build for expert users, including the adoption effort and the judgment about what to simplify.
• A commercial instinct: you have made a business case, quantified its return, and been held to it.
• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree or certification (CFA, MBA) a plus.

Responsibilities

• Define and execute the product strategy and roadmap, sequenced by business value and defensible to stakeholders.
• Decide what becomes a guided flow and what stays an expert surface, and own the defaults.
• Design workflows that hold up across markets, calendars, and regions.
• Track ETF market structure developments and regulatory change, and translate their implications into product direction.
• Prototype your own proposals with AI product tooling and put something clickable in front of a portfolio manager.
• Do your own analysis. Query the data, quantify the case, and bring evidence rather than anecdote.
• Write requirements and acceptance criteria an engineer can build from directly, and run delivery against a visible, prioritized backlog.
• Own the business case. Quantify where the platform creates capacity, reduces risk, and shortens time to launch.
• Drive expansion beyond the initial desk: identify the next adopters across teams and affiliated businesses.
