• Lead the development of go-to-market strategies for IGN and ICE Consolidated Feeds across Asia Pacific, including competitive positioning against direct exchange feeds and other consolidated feed providers.
• Contribute to new product development and regional strategy for IGN, bringing a deep understanding of APAC market structure and client needs.
• Gather and synthesise client requirements around content, latency, symbology, normalisation, entitlements, and technical onboarding; channel market intelligence to Product and Development teams to inform the roadmap.
• Monitor and assess the competitive landscape, identifying threats and opportunities that could impact our market position.
• Track regulatory developments and market data policy changes - including evolving exchange licensing models - and evaluate their commercial and operational implications.
• Represent ICE Data Services externally as a thought leader, engaging regularly with clients and prospects, speaking at industry events, and maintaining a visible presence across relevant professional and social media channels.
