Market Data Analyst - Industry Leading Hedge Fund – up to 90K base + Significant Bonus Potential

Our client, a global, multi-billion dollar AUM, multi-strategy hedge fund, is looking to make a newly created 'Market Data Specialist' specific hire, to sit within their global Data team.

Working as part of a lean team, consisting of leading professionals within the buy-side data space, you will report directly to the Global Head of Data. You will work alongside different functions globally to ensure that internal data infrastructure, data contract frameworks, and relationships with crucial external stakeholders (such as Bloomberg, FactSet, Refinitiv) are managed and improved efficiently.

The core remit combines both commercial and 'hands-on' data and vendor management responsibilities. The hire will work with/manage market data vendors and all relevant contracts (licensing, renewals, usage analysis) along with the onboarding of new partners. The hire will also play a key role in major projects to improve internal data usage and spend management, the procurement lifecycle, and supporting the integration of new tools to be used by the wider team.

This is an opportunity to join a lean, highly collaborative team of individuals and drive real impact across the firm. Candidates should ideally have 2-5 years of experience as an MDM / Market Data Analyst / Vendor Management Analyst at a buy-side firm, bank, or major data vendor (albeit we could potentially consider exceptional juniors looking to step up). Candidates must be willing to work in a lean team and take a 'hands-on' approach with all aspects of the role. A strong academic profile is required.

This is a crucial hire for the team, so my client is committed to offering the successful hire a significant increase on their current base salary. Top performers in the data management team typically receive large percentage bonuses on top of this. The firm also offers what is arguably an industry-leading benefits package.
