Job Description:

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 in the buy-side data space, you will report directly to the Global Head of Data. You will collaborate with different functions globally to ensure that internal data infrastructure, data contract frameworks, and relationships with external stakeholders (such as Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv) are managed efficiently.

The role combines commercial and hands-on data and vendor management responsibilities. You will work with and manage market data vendors, handle all relevant contracts (licensing, renewals, usage analysis), and oversee onboarding of new partners. You will also contribute to major projects to improve internal data usage, spend management, procurement lifecycle, and integration of new tools.

This is an opportunity to join a 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 step up may be considered. Candidates must be willing to work in a lean team and take a hands-on approach. A strong academic background is preferred.

The client is committed to offering a competitive salary with significant increases for the right candidate. Top performers typically receive substantial bonuses. The firm also offers a leading benefits package.
