You’ll help build cloud-native, independently deployable data services that help some of the world’s largest investment firms master, govern and distribute their data at scale.
This role suits a product manager or business analyst with 3–5 years of experience who wants to deepen their expertise in investment data and data management platforms. Working closely with senior product leaders, you will own requirements and backlog for specific capabilities across entity and identifier resolution, reference data management, extensible data models and release management.
You’ll partner with engineering, architecture and client teams to turn business needs into well-defined, testable features, with clear room to grow your scope and impact.
Why This Role Is Important to Us

- Document matching and resolution rules, data mappings and reference data definitions across securities, issuers, accounts and related domains.
- Analyze source data and existing data models to define scope, identify gaps and support data model extension and configuration requirements.
- Help define and validate test scenarios, support user acceptance testing and confirm features meet functional and data quality expectations.
- Contribute to release planning and readiness, including release notes, configuration documentation and rollback considerations.
- Track delivery progress, risks and dependencies, and prepare status updates for product leadership.
- Take part in design reviews and working sessions with architecture, engineering and client delivery teams.
- Support client and internal stakeholder engagements by gathering feedback, answering functional questions and helping with demos.
- Keep product documentation, requirements artifacts and knowledge bases up to date in Jira and Confluence.
Qualifications
- 3–5 years of experience in product management, business analysis or data analysis, ideally in financial services or enterprise SaaS.
- Working knowledge of investment data domains (securities, issuers, pricing, portfolios, transactions, corporate actions) and the investment lifecycle.
- Exposure to reference data, security master or data management concepts such as identifier cross-referencing, data mapping and data quality.
- Ability to write clear requirements, user stories and acceptance criteria.
- Strong analytical skills; SQL proficiency and comfort working with large data sets are a plus.
- Basic understanding of cloud-based and API-driven architectures.
- Familiarity with market data providers (e.g., Bloomberg, Refinitiv, ICE) is a plus.
- Experience with Agile delivery and tools such as Jira and Confluence.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work across technical and business teams.

Search Finance Jobs in MassachusettsFinance STEM OPT Sponsorship Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
Which finance companies in Massachusetts have sponsored F-1 STEM OPT workers?
State Street, Fidelity Investments, Wellington Management, and Liberty Mutual are among the Massachusetts-based finance employers with documented histories of sponsoring work visas for quantitative and analytical roles. Larger asset managers and custody banks in the Boston area tend to file Labor Condition Applications regularly for data-intensive finance positions, which overlap heavily with STEM OPT-eligible job categories.
Which cities in Massachusetts have the most finance F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs?
Boston is the dominant hub, with the Financial District, Back Bay, and the Seaport neighborhood hosting the densest concentration of finance employers. Cambridge draws fintech and quantitative firms, often linked to MIT and Harvard research networks. Waltham and Burlington have secondary clusters of financial services and insurance technology companies that recruit STEM OPT candidates for analytics and modeling roles.
What types of finance roles typically qualify for F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship in Massachusetts?
Roles that qualify must fall under a STEM-designated Classification of Instructional Programs code tied to the student's degree. In finance, this commonly includes quantitative analyst, financial data scientist, risk analyst, algorithmic trading researcher, and actuarial analyst positions, particularly when the role requires applied mathematics, statistics, or computer science. General business or client-facing sales roles rarely meet the STEM degree-connection requirement.
How do I find finance F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship jobs in Massachusetts?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa type and state, so you can search for finance roles in Massachusetts that have verified F-1 STEM OPT sponsorship history rather than guessing from generic postings. Filtering by employers with active Labor Condition Application filings in financial services narrows results to companies that have already navigated the sponsorship process for comparable roles.
Are there any Massachusetts-specific considerations for F-1 STEM OPT finance candidates?
Massachusetts finance employers are generally familiar with STEM OPT authorization because Boston-area universities produce a large volume of international graduates in quantitative disciplines. However, candidates should confirm that their specific degree program carries a STEM CIP code recognized by their DSO, and that the job offer ties directly to that field of study. Some employers in regulated financial roles may also require E-Verify enrollment as part of the STEM OPT extension process.
