Job Title
Want to shape how investors discover insights before earnings are released?
Excited by assessing messy datasets and proving whether they contain genuine signal?
Looking for a leadership role where you can create entirely new data products and KPIs?
We're partnering with a high-growth alternative data business that provides daily revenue estimates and KPI forecasts for over 250 listed companies globally. Using proprietary B2B and B2C datasets, they help investment professionals understand company performance and identify emerging trends ahead of traditional financial reporting. The business has built a strong reputation within the investment community and continues to expand its data coverage and product offering. This role sits at the centre of that growth, helping determine which datasets become the next generation of client-facing insights.
