Define and manage the product backlog, including epics, features, and user stories, ensuring alignment with business objectives.

Partner closely with engineering teams to translate business requirements into clear, implementable functional and technical specifications.

Partner with Portfolio Managers, Risk Analysts, and Investment teams to define and validate enterprise risk analytics requirements, spanning factor exposures and portfolio and benchmark risk.

Ensure functional parity or enhancement when transitioning from Barra to Axioma, identifying gaps, risks, and remediation plans.

Support validation and sign off of risk outputs during parallel runs and UAT.

Navigate and analyze relational databases to understand upstream and downstream data dependencies.

Define and review API based integrations, batch interfaces, and data feeds between Axioma and internal systems.

Act as the primary liaison between business, technology, vendor, and data teams.
