Join a purpose driven winning team, committed to results, in an inclusive and high-performing culture.

The Role

The team is seeking a seasoned Senior Manager, Market Data Engineering (Capital Markets Technology) with strong capital markets expertise to design, integrate, and manage the ingestion of market and reference data from both vendor-based and in‑house source systems into the Asset Control (AC) Platform. This role plays a critical part in enabling accurate, scalable, and governed data feeds that support business‑critical trading, risk, regulatory, and analytics systems across the enterprise.

The successful candidate combines deep technical delivery experience with a strong understanding of financial instruments, market data vendors, and asset‑class‑specific data structures.

Is this role right for you? In this role you will:

• Design, build, and maintain robust data ingestion and distribution pipelines for market and reference data within the Asset Control (AC) Platform.
• Integrate external vendor feeds (e.g. Bloomberg, LSEG) and internal source systems, ensuring accurate normalisation, enrichment, and persistence of data.
• Develop and maintain in‑house data feeds to support downstream front‑, middle‑, and back‑office systems, including trading, risk, compliance, and reporting platforms.
• Serve as a technical lead and subject‑matter expert for market and reference data, advising on best practices for data modelling, symbology mapping, and asset‑class‑specific attributes.
• Manage the handling of security and instrument identifiers (e.g. CUSIP, ISIN, FIGI, Sedol) across the data lifecycle, including vendor cross‑referencing and symbology resolution.
• Ensure data quality, lineage, controls, and consistency in alignment with enterprise data governance standards.
• Partner closely with business, technology, data governance, and vendor teams to analyse requirements, resolve data issues, and support platform evolution.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to engineers within the team, contributing to technical standards, design reviews, and delivery practices.

Do you have the skills that will enable you to succeed in this role? We’d love to work with you if you have:

• Strong hands‑on experience integrating market and reference data from major vendors such as Bloomberg and LSEG.
• Proven knowledge of security and instrument reference data, including CUSIP, ISIN, FIGI, and their use across the trade lifecycle.
• Solid understanding of multiple asset classes (e.g. Equities, Fixed Income, FX, Derivatives) and their associated market and static data attributes.
• Strong experience designing scalable, resilient data pipelines and feeds in a distributed data platform environment.
• Experience working with data quality, reconciliation, lineage, and control frameworks in regulated environments.
• Ability to communicate effectively with both technical and non‑technical stakeholders and translate business requirements into technical solutions.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with security master or asset control platforms.
• Background in data governance, metadata management, or reference data domain models.
• Prior experience leading or mentoring senior engineers in delivery teams.
