Data & Analytics — Financial Services

Manage the market data ecosystem — Bloomberg, Refinitiv, FactSet, ICE, and the dozens of specialized data vendors for each asset class. Evaluate and integrate alternative data sources — satellite imagery, web scraping, credit card data, geolocation. Build and maintain the data infrastructure that feeds trading systems, risk models, and client reporting. Manage data costs (Bloomberg terminal licenses alone are substantial amounts/year each), vendor contracts, and the data quality issues that cause model failures.

Evaluate, license, clean, and integrate alternative datasets — satellite imagery, web scraping, credit card transactions, app usage, patent filings, job postings — into the investment process. The data vendor landscape has 1,500+ providers and growing. Most datasets promise alpha but deliver noise.
