Define and execute the strategy, vision, and roadmap for market data products, with a focus on five key areas: (1) Develop Redistribution Product Portfolio and Business Case: Evaluate the strategic needs of our clients and prioritize content by demand. Lead competitive analysis of competitor product sets and data vendors, including pricing, to create initial business case for opportunity vs. investment, establishing IRR (via finance).
Create an Auditability Framework: As part of the Business Case, develop a coarse-grain design for redistribution auditability, including operational requirements and tooling.
Market Data API: Lead the design, development, and rollout of Apex’s public-facing Market Data APIs. Collaborate with engineers and product teams to deliver high-performance API and ensure robust testing and documentation. Work with Product Marketing on public-facing product collateral.
Vendor Contract Management: Manage contracts with market data vendors, ensuring optimal coverage for all business units while realizing cost savings. Work with stakeholders to analyze gaps and negotiate streamlined agreements.
Data Licensing: Manage contracts with exchanges for market data usage. Partner with compliance and legal teams to ensure Apex meets all regulatory and licensing requirements. Work cross-functionally to prioritize requirements, solve product gaps, and document detailed product plans, including PR-FAQs and technical specifications. Author and maintain product documentation, and be accountable for the functional and financial success of the market data products.
