About the Role

Grade Level (for internal use): 13
The Team:
Clear Par, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence’s Enterprise Solutions business, is the market‑leading platform for settlement of broadly syndicated loans and private credit. We support a diverse global client base—including buy‑side, sell‑side, agent banks, and corporate participants—by delivering automated workflow solutions that streamline settlement, reduce operational risk, and improve market efficiency. In this role, you will take an enterprise perspective—connecting near‑term delivery to Clear Par’s longer‑term strategy—while staying close to evolving market structure, client operating models, and competitor dynamics.

As Director, Product Management, you will lead the evolution of the Clear Par product portfolio (including Loan Platforms, ADFlow, Loan Processor, Message Director, Document Delivery, and Clear Par Analytics). Your work will directly influence how market participants execute critical post‑trade and servicing processes—improving speed, transparency, and control across the syndicated loan lifecycle.

• Serve as an escalation point for complex client, product, and delivery issues—driving resolution while maintaining quality standards and stakeholder confidence.
