Working as part of a lean team, consisting of leading professionals within the buy-side data space, you will report directly to the Global Head of Data. You will work alongside different functions globally to ensure that internal data pipelines, data contract frameworks and relationships with crucial external stakeholders (such as Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv) are managed and improved in an efficient and smooth fashion.

The core remit combines both commercial and administrative responsibilities - the hire will work with / manage market data vendors & all relevant contracts (licencing, renewals, usage limits) + the onboarding of new partners. The hire will also play a key role on major projects to improve internal data management, the procurement lifecycle and supporting the development of new tools to be used by the wider team.

This is an opportunity to join a lean, highly collaborative team of individuals and be able to drive real impact across the firm. As such candidates should ideally have 5-10yrs experience as an MDM / Market Data Analyst at a buy-side firm, bank or major data vendor (albeit we could potentially consider exceptional juniors looking to step up). Candidates must be willing to work in a lean team and take a ‘hands-on’ approach with all aspects of the role. Candidates should have a strong academic profile.

This is a crucial hire for the team, so my client is committed to offering the successful hire a significant increase on their current base salary. Top performers in the data management team typically receive large % bonuses on top of this. The firm also offer what is arguably an industry leading benefits package
