Job Details

Overview 

The Nasdaq Data business is a world leader in financial, economic, and alternative data. We create and deliver innovative data products that power some of the world’s most successful companies.

In recent years, a large focus for our group has been expanding our collection of unique Alternative Data products for our institutional investor clients. Well-known examples of Alternative Data include sentiment measures, real-time tracking of vehicles via GPS transponders, satellite monitoring of industrial facilities, and consumer insights gleaned from anonymized transactions.  These datasets are often considered “alternative” because they do not fall in the traditional categories of data used by the financial industry: stock prices, company fundamentals, options and futures data, and so forth. Their importance in the financial markets is increasing rapidly as hedge funds and active asset managers are eager for data that offers predictive insights into the performance of individual companies, sectors, and the macro economy.

  • Interact directly with clients and partners to answer technical questions about data sources and partnerships 

  • Strong knowledge of the Alternative Data industry and key players, financial markets, data, and related technology
