Jobbeschreibung

Referment is working with a global investment firm hiring a specialist for its Firmwide Data team. This team manages the full life cycle of data at the firm — sourcing, vendor management, operational execution, and stakeholder collaboration across regions and functions. You'll get broad exposure across technology, investment, and infrastructure groups, and room to make meaningful improvements to how the firm buys and manages data.

The Role

• Manage workflows across the data life cycle, including sourcing, legal and compliance coordination, vendor relationship management, and collection of stakeholder feedback.
• Identify data sources that support business goals and research needs, and advise investment professionals on potential solutions.
• Negotiate commercial terms while maintaining strong vendor relationships.
• Keep accurate records of subscriptions, entitlements, contracts, and vendor interactions to preserve institutional knowledge.
• Analyze data usage, costs, and business utility to consolidate subscriptions, improve adoption, and inform renewal decisions.
• Maintain audit readiness, own audit coordination, and resolve data issues collaboratively across regions and functions.

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor's degree and one to four years of experience in data management, financial services, research, operations, data suppliers, or a related field.
• Interest in how data is used in investment, research, or business processes, with the aptitude to learn technical concepts.
• Keen attention to detail and the consistency to run recurring operational tasks reliably.
• Professionalism and sound judgment with external vendors, with a practical, commercially aware approach.
• Familiarity with financial markets, banking, research environments, or publicly traded data companies is a plus; exposure to legal, compliance, audit, procurement, or vendor-management workflows is helpful but not required.

This could suit someone from a market data vendor, research operations, or financial services background who enjoys the commercial and operational side of data and wants firmwide exposure at a major investor.
