From S&P Global's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
13 About the Role:
The Business: S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) is the largest global resource for essential index-based concepts, data and research, and home to iconic financial market indicators, such as the S&P 500® and the Dow Jones Industrial Average®. More assets are invested in products based on our indices than products based on indices from any other provider in the world.
Since Charles Dow invented the first index in 1884, S&P DJI has been innovating and developing indices across the spectrum of asset classes, helping to define the way investors measure and trade the markets.
The Team: Join a Best-In-Class Global Legal, Compliance, Risk & Government Affairs Team committed to delivering timely, practical and actionable advice to advance our business and safeguard our reputation, people and assets. We work with some of the world's largest asset managers, banks, and financial institutions. Our legal team sits at the heart of the business, supporting a fast-moving and technically complex operating environment. The position reports to the Associate General Counsel and Managing Director EMEA.
The team provides legal support to the S&P DJI business, including: legal advice and support to internal clients; drafting, reviewing and negotiating contracts and other legal documents related to licensing indices for use with investment products (including, without limitation, banks and insurance products), data licensing, joint marketing and co-development collaborations, consulting agreements; review of marketing material; legal research; management and coordination of external legal resources; and training to employees on legal
issues and contracting procedures.
We are looking for a commercially minded and highly organised legal counsel to join our in-house legal team. This is a broad, hands-on role covering the full spectrum of legal work arising in a regulated financial data and index business — from complex commercial and partnership contracts and intellectual property matters through to regulatory advice, corporate governance and dispute management.
The successful candidate will work closely with senior stakeholders across the business and will be expected to work with a high degree of autonomy.
You will work in a dynamic, global, client-facing (both internal and external) environment and will have the opportunity to work independently and be part of a legal team that provides crucial support to the organisation.
Excellent opportunities for growth and to work on a broad range of legal matters spanning regulatory, commercial, and governance disciplines.
Involvement in commercial transactions, ad-hoc business projects, as well as assisting with research, process review and innovation, and information review and analysis.
Serve as a trusted legal adviser to product, innovation, and commercial teams.
Help shape legal frameworks for index construction and licensing across the financial markets.
Provide legal advice on obligations arising under European and UK financial regulations, including the EU and UK Benchmarks Regulation (BMR), UCITS, MiFID II, DORA, GDPR, and related regulatory frameworks.
Support governance documentation, regulatory submissions, and engagement with supervisory authorities, including the FCA and relevant EU National Competent Authorities and ESMA.
Anticipate regulatory and legal developments affecting the index business and translate them into actionable business guidance.
