  • Support onboarding of new data domains, including pricing, reference data, corporate actions, and real-time/intraday feeds.
  • Define and validate business rules for data cleansing, deduplication, and normalization.
  • Maintain data dictionaries, business glossaries, and lineage documentation.
  • Participate in and support UAT, working closely with QA and business users.

 What you’ll bring with You:

  • 5+ years of experience as a Market Data Analyst or Business Analyst in financial services.
  • Strong understanding of financial instruments: equities, fixed income, FX, derivatives.
  • Deep knowledge of market data vendors and feeds: Bloomberg (BDP, BVAL), Refinitiv, ICE, SIX, exchange feeds, etc.
  • Demonstrated experience producing high-quality functional specifications and data mapping documents.
  • Proven ability to bridge the gap between business requirements and technical implementation.
  • Python – for data analysis, transformation scripting, and validation logic.
  • Snowflake – writing complex SQL queries, working with structured/semi-structured data, and supporting data workflows.
  • SQL – advanced querying for data exploration and profiling.
  • Familiarity with data formats and protocols: CSV, XML, JSON, FIX, FpML.
  • Experience with API-based data access (e.g., Bloomberg API, Refinitiv Data Platform APIs).
  • Use of collaboration tools such as JIRA, Confluence, and version control systems like Git.
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and working knowledge of cloud-native data services is a plus.
  • Understanding of data quality, lineage, and governance tools is beneficial (e.g., Collibra, Alation)

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience building or supporting a Market Data Hub, golden source, or enterprise reference data platform.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
