Our client, a global, multi-billion dollar AUM, multi-strategy hedge fund, is looking to make a newly created 'Market Data Specialist' hire to sit within their global Data team.
Working as part of a lean team comprising leading professionals in the buy-side data space, you will report directly to the Global Head of Data. You will collaborate with various global functions to ensure that internal data infrastructure, data contract frameworks, and relationships with external stakeholders (such as Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv) are managed and optimized effectively.
The core responsibilities include both commercial and hands-on data and vendor management. The role involves working with and managing market data vendors, overseeing contracts (licensing, renewals, usage analysis), onboarding new partners, and participating in major projects to enhance internal data usage, spend management, procurement lifecycle, and integration of new tools for the team.
This is an opportunity to join a highly collaborative team and make a significant impact. Candidates should ideally have 2-5 years of experience as an MDM, Market Data Analyst, or Vendor Management Analyst at a buy-side firm, bank, or major data vendor. Exceptional juniors seeking to advance may also be considered. Candidates must be comfortable working in a lean team and adopting a hands-on approach. A strong academic background is preferred.
This is a critical hire, and the client is committed to offering a competitive salary with potential for significant bonuses and industry-leading benefits.
