Product owner - benchmarking and networks

Risk.net is looking for a network relations manager to help develop and grow our portfolio of benchmarking editorial products and professional networks – one of our top strategic priorities.

You will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders in the financial services industry, primarily senior risk managers at banks, buy side firms and market infrastructure providers. You will also help shape and author the coverage that we offer to those contributors and our subscribers.

The role blends elements of traditional journalism, research and networking, product design and management.

For almost 40 years, Risk.net has helped track – and set – the agenda at the world’s largest financial institutions, with a particular focus on the derivatives markets. We are a rare beast: a subscriber-driven financial industry publication that thrives on long-form investigative journalism, in-depth market coverage and quant finance research, and which carries real impact in the industry.

As our coverage has evolved to incorporate more data-driven stories, we have also been building our own proprietary datasets, some drawn from publicly available sources, others from private contributions to our benchmarking services. Your primary role will be to own, expand and deepen these contributor relationships.

The successful candidate will be comfortable talking to senior individuals and teams at these firms, developing a thorough understanding of their needs. Your findings will be shared with colleagues in a clear and concise manner, helping to shape our products. As our datasets grow, you will help curate and maintain them, as well as identifying new ways to present information and insights back to our contributors and subscribers.

The Data & Benchmarking team also has a presence in the company’s international offices in New York and Hong Kong; there may be flexibility for the right candidate to move to these locations, pending manager approval.

Highlights:

– Competitive salary of £35-40,000 DOE, and an attractive benefits package;

– Opportunity to be part of an entrepreneurial, results-oriented environment, working on a fast-growing product line-up;

– Become an integral part of the 35-strong, highly experienced, award-winning Risk.net editorial team.

Requirements

– Ideally, some experience in a role with similar skills – data journalism, professional network relations, research or product management, for example.

– Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to build and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

– Solid understanding of the financial services industry.

– Ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

–Experience of using online survey platforms would be an advantage, as would an awareness of how LLMs and other AI tools could help automate some aspects of data collection and curation.

– Strong Excel skills would also be an advantage.
