Lead Product Manager, Credit Analytics

About The Role Grade Level (for internal use): 12

The Role The Lead Product Manager will serve as a lead product practitioner and people leader within the Credit Analytics division of S&P Global Market Intelligence. This individual will own the end-to-end product lifecycle for Universal Coverage - a technically complex product suite built on API integrations and multi-source data aggregation - while simultaneously acting as the primary voice of Credit Analytics in strategic collaboration with the shared platform team. This is both a hands-on product leadership role and a management role, requiring someone who can develop junior PMs while personally driving discovery, alignment, roadmapping, and execution at a high standard.

The Impact Universal Coverage is a critical growth area for Credit Analytics, expanding the reach and depth of coverage across multiple data sources and delivery channels. The person in this role will define what gets built, why it matters, and how it gets done - bridging client needs, business strategy, and technical execution. Effective partnership with the platform team, where influence must be earned rather than mandated, will directly shape the speed and quality of delivery across the division.

What You'll Do Product Leadership & Discovery

• Lead structured product discovery from strategic idea through validated opportunity—conducting client interviews, synthesizing qualitative and quantitative signals, and building evidence-based business cases.
• Own and evolve the Universal Coverage product roadmap, ensuring priorities reflect client value, business objectives, and technical feasibility.
• Drive alignment across business stakeholders on scope, sequencing, and trade-offs—communicating with clarity and confidence at all levels of the organization.
• Translate ambiguous strategic direction into well-defined requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria ready for agile execution.
• Maintain a deep understanding of the full product development lifecycle, applying appropriate rigor at each stage from ideation through delivery and iteration.

Universal Coverage Domain Ownership

• Serve as the primary product manager for Universal Coverage, including API integration workflows and the complexity of aggregating data across multiple heterogeneous sources.
• Develop a thorough understanding of the underlying data architecture, integration patterns, and client consumption models to make informed prioritization decisions.
• Partner with engineering, data, and commercial teams to ensure product builds are technically sound, commercially viable, and deliver measurable client value.
• Proactively identify coverage gaps, data quality issues, and integration challenges that affect client outcomes, and drive resolution through appropriate channels.

Platform Collaboration & Stakeholder Influence

• Act as the authoritative voice of Credit Analytics needs in collaboration with the shared platform team—building trust, articulating business value, and influencing prioritization without direct authority.
• Develop structured proposals, feature briefs, and dependency plans that clearly communicate the Credit Analytics perspective and enable the platform team to make well-informed decisions.
• Navigate competing priorities across teams with professionalism and a solutions-oriented mindset, finding paths forward that serve both divisional and enterprise goals

Client & Stakeholder Engagement

• Engage regularly with clients—conducting discovery sessions, gathering feedback, and translating insights into product direction.
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with internal stakeholders including sales, commercial leadership, and technical partners.
• Present product strategy, roadmap updates, and delivery status with confidence and clarity, tailoring communication style to the audience.

People Leadership

• Directly manage 1–2 Product Managers, providing clear direction, regular feedback, and active coaching on product craft.
• Model intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, and a collaborative mindset—setting the standard for how the team approaches problems, clients, and uncertainty.
• Create conditions for the team to do their best work, removing blockers and connecting PMs to the context they need to be effective.

Required Qualifications What We're Looking For

• 5–7 years of progressive product management experience, with demonstrated ownership of complex product areas from discovery through delivery.
• Proven ability to lead product discovery: structuring ambiguous problems, gathering and synthesizing evidence, and building the case for investment.
• Strong roadmapping skills, including the ability to prioritize across competing demands and communicate rationale clearly to diverse stakeholders.
• Experience working with API-based products and/or data integration challenges—comfortable engaging with technical complexity without being an engineer.
• Domain knowledge in credit risk, credit analytics, or financial data and market intelligence.
• Track record of effective cross-functional collaboration, including influencing teams or priorities where you hold no direct authority.
• Demonstrated experience engaging clients directly—running discovery interviews, presenting product concepts, and incorporating feedback into product decisions.
• Excellent communication skills: able to simplify complex topics, tailor messages to the audience, and hold a room with confidence.
• Experience managing or mentoring other product managers, with evidence of investment in team development.
• Proficiency with agile development practices and tools (e.g., Jira, ADO); experience participating in or leading sprint ceremonies.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working within a large, matrixed organization and navigating shared platform or infrastructure dependencies.
• Familiarity with data aggregation architectures, multi-source data pipelines, or API marketplace environments.
• Exposure to credit rating methodologies, risk scoring models, or related quantitative financial products.
• Experience with product analytics and KPI frameworks (e.g., adoption, retention, NPS, time-to-value).
• MBA or equivalent advanced degree in a relevant field.

What We Value In This Role We are looking for someone who approaches their work with genuine curiosity—who asks "why" before "how" and stays open to diverse opinions. We want a product leader who earns trust through rigor and teamwork. The right person will be comfortable in ambiguity, motivated by hard problems, and energized by the intersection of data, financial markets, and the clients who depend on them to make critical decisions.
