Responsibilities:

  • Build a strong partnership with partners across the organization and cultivate trusted relationships with external third-party data providers.
  • Support the Procurement team in their negotiation with the vendors by providing key insights and detailed recommendations.
  • Perform deep level analysis on market data footprints to help making informed decisions ahead of contracts renewals.
  • Gather and organize data to produce metrics and reporting related to market data consumption; develop data-related dashboards to track market data spending over time.
  • Understand how the data ecosystem is structured and how data is integrated and transformed across different platforms.
  • Identify duplicative data sources and look for ways to improve utilization of the data we already have.
  • Lead opportunities to influence data consumption behavior, consolidate usage, and standardize data use of fewer vendor products where possible to ultimately deliver incremental cost efficiencies.
  • Implement initiatives to streamline processes (e.g. user management, invoice validation, requirements gathering, etc.).
  • Collaborate with all groups within the Chief Data Office to ensure alignment across data functions and on target delivery of the group’s goals.
  • Continuously enhance knowledge within area of expertise and keep current with industry trends and business direction.

What we are looking for:

  • Prior experience in the asset management / financial industry with exposure to financial markets, instruments and products is required.
  • Comprehensive understanding of buy-side market data vendors (e.g. Bloomberg, MSCI, Factset, Morningstar, S&P, etc.) and services is crucial for this position.
  • Ability to work across multi-disciplinary teams on complex initiatives and bridging the business and data worlds.
  • Solid technical skills especially around the Microsoft Suite (expert level of Excel is required) and ideally interest in Microsoft Power Apps/Automate.
  • Experience in database, query/programming languages and data visualization (e.g. Power BI); proficiency in data analysis along with a deep understanding of data management and governance principles is a nice to have.
  • Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy with demonstrated strong logical and technical problem-solving skills; ready to analyze complex data, identify trends and make data-driven recommendations.
  • Excellent communication, listening and influencing skills; successfully navigate ambiguity and varying communication styles.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to multi-task and independently prioritize work.
  • Implement with speed and precision, relishing all challenges as opportunities to dig in; constantly learn from both success and failure.
  • Champion of change and managing the implementation of new insights / improvements.
  • Hold a high degree of personal accountability and ownership in everything you do.
