Reporting to: Data Products & Onboarding Leader

Partnering closely with: Other Marketplace teams, Technology teams, Data Governance, and business teams across the enterprise

Fitch’s Chief Data Office (CDO) leads the firm’s enterprise data strategy. Central to it is Fitch’s Data Marketplace - the platform through which employees find, understand and use governed data across business workflows, analytics and AI. Data Products & Onboarding is one of three Marketplace product domains and serves as its supply-side function. The team delivers designated Marketplace-managed data products and enables business teams to bring their own data to the Marketplace and publish it as governed data products.

How You’ll Make an Impact:

• A highly visible product role within Fitch’s enterprise data ecosystem.
• The opportunity to shape how governed enterprise data products are designed, delivered, operated, and continuously improved.
• A role at the intersection of data product management and data engineering, working with business, technology and data teams to turn complex data needs into trusted data products, enabling safe innovation with data at scale.

You May be a Good Fit if:

• 8+ years across data products, data platforms, data engineering or related disciplines, including significant product ownership or management responsibility.
• Experience owning complex enterprise data products from definition through production and lifecycle management.
• Strong technical understanding of modern data architectures and delivery patterns, including data pipelines, ingestion and transformation, cloud data lakes, and virtualized/federated access.
• Experience with technologies such as AWS/S3, Starburst/Trino, Spark, Snowflake or Databricks, or comparable platforms.
• Strong product management capabilities across roadmap, backlog, prioritization and requirements, translating business needs into scalable data-product solutions.
• Strong stakeholder leadership across business, engineering, architecture and governance teams.

What Would Make You Stand Out:

• Financial markets, credit, risk or financial-data experience
• Prior data engineering, data architecture or technical data-product experience.
