The scope of the role includes Argus Direct (web), mobile services, APIs, and data feeds, with accountability for end‑to‑end product lifecycle management. The role does not include ownership of the Argus Open Markets platform.

• Partner closely with global technology leadership to ensure effective execution, architectural coherence, platform scalability, and high standards of reliability and data integrity.

• Owning and continuously improving the product development and governance process.
• Building strong product management capability, ways of working, and talent pipelines.
• Setting clear expectations, accountability, and performance standards.
