About the role
We’re working with a London hedge fund looking for a Data Licensing Specialist to lead negotiations with vendors and exchanges and shape how the firm buys, licenses and uses market data across asset classes.

What you’ll do
- Lead market data contract negotiations and renewals, improving commercial terms while protecting data quality.
- Own the firm’s inventory of data licensing rights and advise teams on what their agreements allow them to do.
- Work with business users and developers to turn market data and security master requirements into clear system changes.
- Resolve licensing and compliance issues and improve how the firm tracks and manages its data.
What you’ll bring
- At least seven years’ market data experience, ideally within an investment fund.
- Hands-on experience negotiating contracts and renewals with data vendors and exchanges.
- A good understanding of data products and providers across multiple asset classes, plus a track record of improving data management processes.
- A relevant bachelor’s degree and an FISD Financial Information Associate or Data Licensing Specialist qualification.
