As part of section Group Data you work directly with the Group's Chief Data Officer and the Head of Market Data Management in contributing to the enterprise data strategy by streamlining external market data sourcing, ingestion, and intragroup sharing. Group Data is led by the Group's Chief Data Officer who drives the further buildout of the group-wide data mesh and data governance to improve access to high-quality, governed data for decision making, AI & automation, and commercialization. Data plays a key role in Deutsche Börse Group's digital transformation as foundation for AI and digital business models.

Your responsibilities

• You drive global market data sourcing initiatives across real-time, delayed, historical, reference, index, ratings, alternative, and derived data. Ownership of market data licensing encompasses especially display, non-display, redistribution, derived data, index, benchmark, enterprise, application, and AI/model-related usage
• You manage strategic relationships with exchanges, data vendors, index providers, rating agencies, brokers, platforms, and other data suppliers, managing internal and external stakeholders up to management level

• You partner with procurement, compliance, finance, technology, and business stakeholders to manage licensing, commercial, and contractual risk - maintaining a clear view of vendor policy changes, exchange fee changes, regulatory developments, technology trends and emerging data usage models
• You provide commercial oversight of market data spend, including budgeting, forecasting, vendor cost analysis, renewal planning, savings opportunities and contract rationalisation. This includes reducing cost leakage, duplication and uncontrolled usage, while improving commercial terms and vendor governance
• You provide leadership and direction to central and decentral market data administration, inventory, entitlement, reporting, and data consuming teams, including where these teams have dotted-line reporting

• You combine profound commercial aptitude, including ability to manage cost, reduce risk, improve contractual outcomes and strengthen vendor governance, with strong relationship management skills across vendors and internal stakeholders, including business, technology, finance, compliance, and procurement
• You are experienced in operating across multiple business lines, legal entities, and jurisdictions and effectively collaborating across organizational boundaries, displaying a service-oriented mindset.
• You have a good understanding of market data governance, controls, usage monitoring, entitlement management, inventory management and reporting, and can effectively communicate to senior management, with the ability to simplify complex licensing, legal, commercial, technical and operational issues
• You are a strong and committed team player, with excellent organizational skills, ability to manage and adapt to change, strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail in high volume and high impact situations, and the ability to work under pressure to meet deadlines
