Product Analyst – Real Time Distribution Strategy

Role Overview

• Help define the future RT Distribution strategy
• Analyse the current RTDS / RTMDS landscape, including customer-managed and LSEG-managed models
• Break down complex strategic questions into clear problem statements, assumptions, and decision options
• Support the development of coherent, long-term direction aligned to the RT Distribution vision (cloud-agnostic, modular, scalable, and future-ready)
• Translate vision into structured strategy artefacts
• Create strategy briefs, option papers, and narrative documents for senior stakeholders
• Help articulate trade-offs (e.g. performance vs cost, managed vs customer-managed, standardisation vs flexibility) in a clear, evidence-based way
• Maintain a “single source of truth” view of how RTDS, RTMDS, hosted, and future models fit together
• Use quantitative and qualitative inputs (cost-to-serve, usage patterns, customer feedback, operational metrics) to test strategic assumptions
• Partner with analytics, finance, and technology teams to build defensible views on scalability, economics, and risk
• Highlight gaps, inconsistencies, or unintended consequences in proposed strategies before they reach execution
• Work with Product Managers and Engineering to ensure strategic intent is reflected in roadmaps and design choices
• Track whether delivered capabilities meaningfully move the platform toward the target RT Distribution end-state
• Synthesize customer, CAF, and field feedback into clear strategic insights
• Help compare LSEG’s RT Distribution direction with external alternatives and client expectations
• Ensure strategy reflects real customer operating constraints, not just internal architecture preferences
