Job Description:
Within BXMA, the Product Management team sits at the intersection of the investment and client-facing organizations and serves as the firm’s center of excellence for investment product content. The team partners closely with various Investment teams, Client Investment Strategy, and Institutional Client Solutions (ICS) to shape how our strategies are understood, positioned, and delivered to the market.
Product Management is responsible for the development, governance, and continuous enhancement of all client- and prospect-facing investment materials — including marketing presentations, portfolio and performance reviews, recurring and customized reporting, due diligence questionnaires, and responses to analytical and product-related inquiries.
The team’s mandate spans strategy, system, and execution — from shaping how investment products are positioned to the market, to operating a best-in-class content and reporting engine, to delivering high-quality outputs at the pace demanded by clients and commercial priorities.
This role will be focused on improving and rebuilding our data infrastructure, which is the foundation of all the content we create, whether it’s qualitative or quantitative. We are looking for individuals who can understand our business requirements, from how our products work, what clients need, and what we as a business want to communicate to clients, and can design, build, and maintain complex data processes starting from raw data tables and ending with client-friendly visuals and reports. The ideal candidate is excited about solving thorny data problems: who can dissect and diagram complex Excel-based processes and rebuild them from scratch using best practices and tools (SQL, Python, Power Query).

Develop new data models and tools in partnership with technology teams that the business can use for automation and enhanced analytics
Visualize, design, and implement new business processes and data workflows, translating stakeholder business requirements into actionable projects.
Oversee software developer resources to implement solutions
