## Responsibilities

- Define and own the market data strategy and roadmap for the TradFi program: identify, evaluate, and prioritize the exchange and vendor data required for the next phase of TradFi products.

- Lead sourcing and commercial negotiations with exchanges, consolidators, and market data vendors; own licensing agreements (display / non-display, per-user, enterprise), renewals, and the overall data spend.

- Drive end-to-end data integration with engineering: feed onboarding, normalization, symbology and reference data, corporate actions, and distribution to trading and client-facing surfaces.

- Build governance across the data lifecycle: entitlements management, data-quality monitoring, lineage, and compliance with exchange usage policies and audit requirements.

- Partner with product, legal, and compliance on data licensing and redistribution terms as the TradFi roadmap expands into new products, markets, and regions.

- Maintain a live view of the market data landscape — new sources, vendors, partnership models, and pricing — to keep the stack best-in-class and cost-efficient.

- Build and mentor a small, growing market data team; establish the operating cadence with product and engineering.

- Act as the in-house expert on TradFi market data and market structure, translating exchange and vendor conventions for crypto-native teams.

## Requirements

- Bachelor's degree in Finance, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.

- Minimum 6–10 years of market data or trading-technology experience at a global online brokerage, exchange, fintech, or market data vendor, with a track record of standing up or scaling market data for trading platforms.

- Deep knowledge of the market data ecosystem: exchange feeds and vendor products, licensing and redistribution models, entitlements, and exchange audit / compliance processes.

- Hands-on experience sourcing and integrating market data across one or more TradFi asset classes (equities, derivatives, commodities, fixed income, FX, indices) and regions.

- Solid understanding of market data technology and reference data: feed protocols, normalization, symbology standards, corporate actions, and time-series distribution.

- Strong commercial and negotiation skills; experience owning vendor relationships and a data budget.

- Excellent stakeholder management across product, engineering, legal, and finance; able to move fluently between technical and commercial conversations.

- Comfortable building from zero to one in a fast-paced, high-velocity environment.

Preferred Skills:

- Experience standing up a market data function at a brokerage launching new asset classes or entering new markets.

- Broad knowledge of the APAC, US, and European market data landscapes and exchange policies.

- Technical fluency (SQL / Python; familiarity with common feed protocols and data architectures).

- Familiarity with market data and trading products.
