A multi-billion dollar AUM, global hedge fund are looking to make a newly created Market Data Analyst hire to play a key role in the buildout of their rapidly expanding European data management function.
My client are building a Data Management group, to work very closely with Operations, Product Control, Risk, Trading and Research teams to ensure the smooth running of the firm, optimize spending on data and maintain compliance with regulatory and contractual obligations. The Market Data Analyst will work with a remit that combines market data administration and procurement responsibilities (contractual relationships, analysing spend & licensing structures), as opposed to sourcing the data, albeit this is a role with a broad remit offering high autonomy and visibility for a role at this level.
The hire will be tasked with running market data line work hands‑on + influencing change / the buildout of the function, working closing with the Head of Data Management (who the role reports directly in to). Ad hoc research projects are also prevalent in the role – initially, the hire will focus on new providers for particular data sets, and assisting with testing, vendor negotiations and coordinating with other teams to onboard new data sets.
Candidates should have a solid academic profile. We would ideally look for candidates with 3-6yrs experience in market data, with some vendor management experience. Any experience working with Bloomberg and/or Refinitiv is beneficial.
The role is budgeted to pay £100-150k TC year one, with significant year‑on‑year growth comp potential.
