You will optimize the operation and quality management of the internal data pipeline with oversight of raw data initially being onboarded through to the delivery of datapoints to front office/investment teams. You will use your technical knowledge of languages such as SQL/python/VBA/Matlab to conduct quality checks and anomaly identification, by interrogating complex dataset analysis. The hire will act as the main interface between data sourcing and data engineering and be the point of contact for Traders.

The hire will also take on ad hoc projects working with front office and technology teams to assist with testing new dataset onboarding platforms, setting data governance metrics and assisting with developing a centralized data management platform.

Candidates should have 2 – 7 years of experience as a Data Operations Specialist / Data Solutions Analyst / Data governance Analyst at a hedge fund, asset manager or a major data vendor.
