• Conduct competitive and industry research to stay ahead of technology trends, regulatory requirements, and evolving customer needs
• Develop detailed business requirements and partner closely with Engineering teams to ensure high-quality execution
• Ensure regulatory and audit compliance, including data entitlements, customer disclosures, and exchange reporting obligations
