Your Team Responsibilities
The Property Intel (PI) Product Manager will sit within MSCI's Real Assets Private Assets business, driving product and commercial innovation for the Property Intel platform across the EMEA region. PI delivers property-level market intelligence, valuation benchmarks, and collateral risk data to banks, insurers, public sector bodies, and real estate advisory firms, drawing on a combination of proprietary research, transaction data, and third-party and regulatory/public data sources.
The role holder will be responsible for product strategy and development for PI, working closely with clients across the region to ensure the platform continues to meet the evolving needs of financial institutions managing real estate-secured lending and investment portfolios.
Product Managers at MSCI are responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of new products and enhancements to existing products. This includes market research and client interviews to ideate and prototype new initiatives, fleshing out detailed requirements and working with other teams on solutioning and estimation, participating in governance forums to determine prioritization and timing, monitoring the build process, quarterbacking go-to-market planning, and tracking product success with clients.
Given the maturity of PI's core bank and public-sector client base, this role also carries particular emphasis on deepening and protecting incumbent relationships, and on adapting PI's commercial model as the underlying data and regulatory landscape in EMEA markets evolves. The role holder will additionally contribute to strategic business development projects and partnership evaluation for the business.
Your Key Responsibilities
- Market analysis of EMEA property markets, financial institution client needs, and the competitive and regulatory landscape — including how shifts in public/regulatory data availability affect PI's differentiation and pricing.
- Product Lifecycle Management: identify new opportunities, service improvements, and cost reductions; contribute to pricing and profitability decisions, including approval of special pricing where necessary.
- Client engagement across EMEA – presenting new ideas to banks, public sector, and advisory clients in collaboration with the sales team, and refining the product based on client feedback.
- Account retention and growth – working proactively with the region's incumbent bank and institutional relationships to defend and grow revenue, identifying cross-sell and upsell opportunities within the existing client base.
- Develop new Property Intel capabilities in collaboration with research, including working with external providers and public/regulatory data sources to onboard new data and evolve existing datasets and indices.
- Build a business plan with a strategic marketing mindset — product, pricing, packaging, and competitive analysis — to defend PI's core franchise and capture attractive adjacent revenue across EMEA.
- Mapping out a plan for development of Property Intel products for different EMEA client segments (banks, insurers, public sector, advisory), working closely with Program Management, Engineering, Data Operations, and Research.
- Develop go-to-market plans for new products or features and prioritize their development.
- Product release & launch support, including coordinating changes to applications, standard data feeds, and Salesforce; testing new features; preparing pitchbooks and factsheets; drafting FAQs and supporting documentation for client-facing teams; and coordinating client communications.
- Working with EMEA sales to understand how the product is being received in the market and identify ways to improve commercial packaging, targeting, positioning, and product-market fit.
