The Role:

Our Listed Derivatives data team seeks a Data Analyst to help us drive the data set forward.

You will develop Derivatives specific domain knowledge and apply your impressive array of skills to solve evolving business challenges by devising and implementing intelligent and scalable solutions to improve the coverage and quality of our data offering. You will join a global team of dedicated individuals and experts where your interests and enthusiasm will have significant impact on the team’s success.

We trust you to:

  • Become a domain expert within the world of Listed Derivatives
