The Role

We’re seeking a Director of Product Management to lead the development of a brand-new private credit and corporate credit analytics platform designed to help investors analyze, research, and monitor corporate credit investments and opportunities. Based in New York, this role offers the opportunity to work cross-functionally with distributed teams across our global offices, while staying closely connected to our core client base in the US and Canada. You’ll report directly to the Head of Product and play a key role in shaping a strategic new product from the ground up.

This role is based in our New York office. We follow a hybrid policy of 3 days onsite and 2 days remote work.

Key Responsibilities:

• Define and refine product strategy by working closely with the leadership team to ensure alignment with business goals and market opportunities.
• Own the product and coordinate actions across the organization to ensure successful delivery and measurable impact.
• Engage deeply with customers and prospective clients to understand their needs, pain points, and priorities, informing product decisions.
• Discover new corporate credit product opportunities that are valuable and usable for customers, viable for the business, and technically feasible.
• Collaborate with engineers, data analysts, and designers throughout discovery, delivery, and support, ensuring work is well-prioritized and user-focused.
• Safeguard data quality, security, and availability by working with technical teams to maintain a trustworthy and robust platform.
• Support the sales team by leading compelling product demos and clearly articulating the value proposition to potential clients.
• Ensure smooth onboarding for new clients and actively support their journey to maximize long-term value from the product.
• Contribute to effective marketing efforts by collaborating with internal teams on positioning, messaging, and go-to-market activities.
• Represent Morningstar at industry events, sharing insights, building relationships, and positioning the platform in the market.

Who we’re looking for:

• Deep expertise in corporate credit, with a strong understanding of the investment lifecycle, key players, and common challenges in the market.
• Strong business acumen and strategic thinking, with the ability to identify valuable opportunities and think holistically about solutions.
• A proactive, self-starting mindset, with a strong sense of ownership and a bias toward action and accountability.
• Demonstrated leadership and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and work effectively across different functions, roles, and seniority levels.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to tailor your message for diverse audiences—from institutional investors to technical teams.
• High level of technical fluency, including comfort working with data, and applying both quantitative and qualitative analysis to solve problems.

Bonus Points:

• Prior experience as a Product Manager, particularly within financial services, fintech, or analytics-driven environments.
