- Experience in product ownership, delivery, or data product development
- Strong understanding of data structures | time-series, instrument, issuer data
- Hands-on SQL or equivalent querying capability
- Experience working in Agile environments
- Ability to operate between technical teams and business stakeholders
- Exposure to institutional data products | analytics platforms, research tools
What Good Looks Like
- Strong grounding in credit markets (not theoretical)

- Clear, structured communication across technical and commercial teams
- Execution-focused mindset | delivery over theory
- Comfortable operating in data-heavy, low-structure environments

Please ask yourself and confirm the following before making an application!
- Do you have practical experience analysing how BBB-rated bonds behave under macro stress conditions | including interest rate rises or recession scenarios?
- Have you worked with or modelled downgrade scenarios (e.g. BBB → BB) and understand their impact on portfolio construction, liquidity, and forced selling?
- Do you understand and have experience interpreting spread behaviour across rating bands | specifically how BBB spreads react relative to A-rated bonds during market stress?
- Have you applied credit risk insights (e.g. downgrade risk, sector concentration such as leveraged corporates) within a data, analytics, or product environment?
- Have you owned or contributed to the design and delivery of a financial data product | including defining data models for instruments, issuers, ratings, or time-series credit data?
- Do you have experience translating credit or fixed income concepts (e.g. ratings changes, spreads, bond lifecycle events) into data structures, datasets, or client-facing product features?
Summary
