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 of leading professionals within the buy-side data space, you will report directly to the Global Head of Data.
