Director, Product Management

Reporting to the VP, Product for Diligent Market Intelligence, you will lead the strategy, roadmap and evolution of Stewardship Intelligence—one of DMI’s core data products. Stewardship Intelligence provides meeting, executive compensation, corporate governance and proxy-voting intelligence to institutional asset managers, stewardship and governance professionals, compensation advisers and consultants, and corporate issuers.

You will lead both Product Management and Research. This is a domain-led role: substantial experience in stewardship, proxy voting, corporate governance, executive compensation, investor relations or a closely related capital-markets domain is required. You will translate customer and market needs into clear product priorities, improve how research is performed at scale, and ensure that Stewardship Intelligence remains trusted, timely and valuable to its users.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do

• Own and continuously refine the product vision, strategy, roadmap and prioritisation for the Stewardship Intelligence portfolio, covering meeting, executive compensation, corporate governance and proxy-voting intelligence.

• Lead, develop and organise the Product Management and Research teams, establishing clear priorities, effective ways of working (with an emphasis on AI integration where possible), strong collaboration and a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

• Be responsible for improving dataset coverage, methodology, quality, traceability and timeliness, using appropriate process redesign, automation and AI-enabled approaches without compromising accuracy or trust.

• Partner closely with Engineering and UX to define, build and launch high-quality product experiences and Data-as-a-Service capabilities that make stewardship intelligence easy to find, understand and use.

• Build deep understanding of the needs of institutional asset managers, stewardship and governance professionals, compensation advisers and consultants, and corporate issuers. Use customer research, market insight and product data to guide decisions.

• Partner with Commercial, Marketing, Sales and Customer Success to support product positioning, packaging, launch readiness, adoption and ongoing customer value.
