• Foster partnership across engineering, product, market data, and operations teams to ensure seamless integration and consistency between real-time pricing, security identifiers, and reference data.
• Advance FactSet’s data governance standards, quality controls, and scalability as new asset classes, venues, and symbology are introduced.
• Balance strategic design initiatives with hands-on execution—supporting both our day-to-day operations and long-term data platform evolution.
