The Role
S&P Dow Jones Indices is seeking a highly technical and commercially driven Director, Multi-Asset Product Management to join our Multi-Asset Product Management team in New York.
This senior role will be responsible for leading the development, management, and commercial promotion of systematic multi-asset and equity derivatives indices, with a particular focus on strategies that incorporate options and derivatives. The role will support a broad range of index-linked investment solutions, including ETFs, structured products, insurance products, derivatives overlay strategies, volatility-controlled strategies, and other multi-asset applications.
The ideal candidate will bring deep quantitative expertise, hands-on experience developing options-based strategies, and a strong understanding of how derivatives can be incorporated into transparent, rules-based index methodologies. This role requires someone who can bridge highly technical index construction with real-world commercial application, partnering closely with clients, Sales, Research & Design, Index Governance, Marketing, Technology, and other internal stakeholders.
This is a highly technical product management role that also requires strong commercial acumen, executive presence, and the ability to influence stakeholders across a global matrixed organization without direct reporting authority.
The Team
The Multi-Asset Product Management team at S&P Dow Jones Indices is responsible for setting product strategy, driving product development, and managing the long-term commercial success of a global suite of multi-asset indices.
The team develops solutions for a broad range of client segments, including banks, asset managers, ETF issuers, insurance companies, wealth platforms, and institutional investors. The product suite includes strategies focused on index-linked insurance products, structured products, derivatives overlays, volatility control, retirement solutions, asset allocation, and other systematic multi-asset strategies.
The team has a global mandate and works closely with regional commercial teams and clients to identify market opportunities, launch innovative index solutions, and support adoption of S&P DJI's multi-asset capabilities.
Responsibilities and Impact
The Director will play a critical role in shaping and executing the product strategy for S&P DJI's multi-asset and equity derivatives index suite. This position will be expected to serve as a senior subject matter expert, lead complex product development initiatives, and contribute directly to the long-term growth and commercial success of the product line.

• Product Development: Lead the research, development, and launch of systematic multi-asset and equity derivatives indices, with a particular focus on options-based strategies. Partner with internal stakeholders to create transparent, rules-based methodologies for use across ETFs, structured products, insurance solutions, annuities, and institutional applications. Influence cross-functional stakeholders across Product Management, Research & Design, Index Governance, Sales, Marketing, Legal, Compliance, Operations, and Technology to drive outcomes without direct management authority.
• Client Engagement: Serve as a senior subject matter expert in client meetings, product pitches, trainings, conferences, and other external forums. Partner with Sales and Client Coverage teams to translate complex derivatives-based index strategies into clear commercial narratives and client solutions. Contribute to thought leadership and product positioning, including presentations, white papers, client materials, market commentary, internal education, and external product messaging.
• Market Intelligence: Maintain a deep understanding of market trends, client needs, and the competitive landscape, including QIS desks, investment banks, exchanges, structured product platforms, ETF issuers, insurance providers, and other index providers. Use these insights to identify new product opportunities and inform product strategy.
• Product Management & Commercial Growth: Support and manage the existing multi-asset index suite with a focus on growing adoption, linked assets, and revenue. Monitor product performance, market relevance, and commercial traction, and identify opportunities for product enhancements, repositioning, and lifecycle management.

What's In It For You

• The opportunity to lead product strategy and innovation for a technically sophisticated and commercially important global index product suite.
• Direct involvement in developing systematic multi-asset and equity derivatives indices used across ETFs, structured products, insurance products, and institutional solutions.
• Regular interaction with senior clients, commercial leaders, quantitative researchers, index governance stakeholders, and product leaders across S&P Dow Jones Indices.
