Position Overview

Apollo is seeking a highly capable and self-driven Data Product Owner to join our data and technology team on a contract basis in New York. This individual will serve as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical data engineering teams, owning the strategy, roadmap, and delivery of client data products that power critical client-facing and investment management functions across the firm.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned, hands-on data professional with deep roots in financial services-particularly asset management or wealth management-who can hit the ground running and contribute immediately at a high level. This person thrives in a fast-paced environment, exercises strong judgment, and balances strategic thinking with meticulous execution.
