• Driving optimisation and efficiency by evaluating solutions, finding opportunities for cost mitigation, and supporting delivery of a sustainable target operating model as the business evolves.
• Maintaining strong awareness of industry, vendor and regulatory developments relevant to market data, applying this insight to inform decision‑making and advise the business.

What We’re Looking For:

• Significant experience (5+ years) working with market data or market data services, gained within a financial services organisation, market data provider or data services business.
• Experience managing market data vendors or client relationships, including contract implementation, usage considerations and ongoing commercial or service discussions.
