Core Responsibilities

• Act as the subject-matter expert on market data usage across the firm, mapping datasets to use cases, workflows, and systems, covering real-time, delayed, and historical data for pricing, analytics, execution, and research.

• Drive budgeting and forecasting accuracy: model usage, seat inventory, and consumption trends; translate business demand into spend forecasts; track variance and ROI; and advise on cost optimization.

• Govern entitlements and compliance: ensure data consumption aligns with licensing requirements, exchange/provider policies, display vs. non-display rules, redistribution terms, derived data policies, and audit requirements.
