About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the product. Define the vision and roadmap for Euromonitor's API and MCP ecosystem — deciding which data domains and endpoints to expose and in what sequence, aligned to the Passport Reimagined relaunch. Run the operating rhythm with Engineering scrum teams: backlog prioritisation, user stories, acceptance criteria, trade-offs.
Champion developer experience. Treat developers and AI agents as first-class customers. Own documentation, SDKs, the developer sandbox, authentication and onboarding. Drive measurable adoption — time-to-first-successful-call, active integrations, query volume and retention.
Govern the data access layer. APIs and MCP servers are a critical control point for how Euromonitor data leaves the building. Partner with Information Security on authentication (OAuth 2.1, SAML/OIDC), rate limiting, entitlement enforcement and audit logging. Zero critical data-exposure incidents is the target.
Shape the commercial model. Work with Commercial, Finance and Legal to define how API and MCP access is packaged and monetised. Build the usage-analytics infrastructure and deliver a quarterly ecosystem scorecard to the executive team.

Requirements

What you’ll need

API & Platform Product Ownership: Proven experience owning the roadmap and backlog for API, data or platform products, ideally where APIs serve external partners and integrations as well as internal teams.
Technical Fluency: Strong working understanding of REST/GraphQL APIs, authentication standards (OAuth 2.1, SAML/OIDC), webhooks, SDKs and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP); able to engage credibly with engineers and architects and translate business needs into technical requirements.
AI & Agentic Ecosystem Awareness: Familiarity with the Model Context Protocol and the broader agentic landscape — including AI assistants such as Microsoft Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini — and how enterprises increasingly consume data through agents and tools.
Data & Domain Sensibility: Comfort working with large, structured datasets and an appreciation for data quality, lineage and entitlement, ideally within a subscription, SaaS, data, market-intelligence or information-services environment.
Commercial Acumen: Experience shaping the packaging, pricing and monetisation of platform or data-access capabilities, and reasoning about usage-based models.
Governance & Security Mindset: A track record of partnering with security and engineering on access control, rate limiting and audit, balancing data protection with developer and partner friction.
Communication & Stakeholder Skills: Excellent written and verbal communication, with the ability to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences and to facilitate decisions across product, engineering, commercial and security.
Agile Delivery: Experience operating as a product owner within agile/scrum teams; CSPO or an equivalent certification is an advantage.
