The team provides relevant, timely and accurate data to empower customers to drive their analysis of commodity markets, both pricing and fundamentals. The Role: This role will own the modernization, stability, and scalability of core commodities data manufacturing capabilities across reference data, fundamentals, curves, spot and index prices, and environmental datasets. The successful candidate will manage a team responsible for improving commodities data pipelines, integration patterns, workflow architecture, controls, and operating models. They will reduce operational risk, rationalize legacy workflows, improve automation, and ensure commodities datasets can be onboarded, transformed, validated, monitored, governed, and delivered consistently across the ecosystem. This role requires strong data management expertise, practical engineering and integration awareness, and the ability to partner effectively with Data Modelling, Data Quality, Product, Engineering, Content Acquisition, Enablement, and regional teams. We’ll trust you to: Lead modernization of commodities data pipelines across reference data, fundamentals, curves, pricing, index data, and environmental datasets. Establish scalable patterns for ingestion, transformation, enrichment, validation, publication, monitoring, and exception management. Assess existing workflows to identify duplication, fragility, inconsistent logic, manual intervention, and opportunities for automation or consolidation. Re-engineer legacy workflows into scalable, resilient, supportable, and well-controlled operating models. Define standards for data manufacturing workflows, including documentation, Partner with Data Quality to embed validation, completeness, timeliness, reconciliation, and exception controls into core workflows. Work with Data Modelling to ensure pipelines support agreed entities, identifiers, relationships, taxonomies, metadata, and lifecycle rules. Ensure datasets are delivered with clear ownership, controls, lineage, documentation, support models, and auditability. Improve monitoring, alerting, root-cause analysis, recovery processes, and preventative controls to reduce operational risk. Reduce duplicate workflows, redundant processes, manual workarounds, and fragmented ownership across commodities data manufacturing. Automate and standardize data handling, enrichment, validation, exception management, monitoring, and recovery processes. Support vendor- and platform-driven change, including schema changes, API migrations, delivery format changes, taxonomy updates, and workflow migrations. Identify practical opportunities to use AI-assisted tooling and automation to reduce manual mapping, validation, documentation, exception handling, and operational triage while ensuring solutions remain governed, explainable, and supportable. Manage a team of Data Management Professionals focused on data integration, workflow engineering, automation, operational stability, and scalable commodities data manufacturing. Set clear priorities and technical direction, balancing modernization, production stability, partner needs, and business-as-usual delivery. Build team capability in data pipelines, integration patterns, Python, SQL, orchestration, automation, observability, controls, and production support. Partner with Product, Engineering, Data Modelling, Data Quality, Content Acquisition, Enablement, and regional teams to deliver business-aligned outcomes. Contribute to global Commodities strategy, workflow standards, integration principles, and operating-model evolution.
