Join the Financial Data Team at Alpha-Sense as a Product Manager specializing in Taxonomy. Successful candidates will bring a strong analytical mindset, expertise in data governance and taxonomy, and the ability to drive alignment across technical and business stakeholders.

What You’ll Do:

• Drive ownership - Own and evolve the existing structured financial data taxonomy library at AlphaSense, inclusive of all client-facing labels, metric definitions and dataset classifications, ensuring both backwards compatibility and future proofing.
• Set the standard - Understand existing naming standards and define how label conventions and governance principles apply across a growing range of data types, ensuring clients can intuitively discover, understand, and leverage the data Alpha-Sense has to offer.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, data, product, sales, and client-facing teams to align stakeholders on taxonomy decisions and translate conceptual frameworks into scalable, production-ready systems
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert on data semantics, and develop and maintain official internal and external documentation ensuring taxonomy standards are clearly articulated and accessible to all stakeholders
• Proactively identify gaps and inconsistencies as new datasets are onboarded, and drive resolution in a structured and scalable way
• Design and maintain taxonomy and data structures with AI and LLM compatibility as a core consideration, ensuring labels, definitions, and conventions support model training, inference, and broader AI-driven automation
• Lay the foundation for a future taxonomy practice — building repeatable frameworks and positioning this function for team growth over time

Who You Are :

• Bachelor's degree in a highly analytical field such as Engineering, Computer Science, Business, or a related discipline
