Full job description
As the Market Data Lead at Binance, you will build and lead the market data function for the next phase of our Traditional Finance (TradFi) expansion. You will own the strategy, sourcing, licensing, and integration of the exchange and vendor data that underpins our new TradFi offerings — from real-time feeds to reference and historical data. Working across product, engineering, legal, and finance, and with exchanges and data vendors globally, you will build the data foundation the TradFi program needs to launch and scale.
Responsibilities
Define and own the market data strategy and roadmap for the TradFi program: identify, evaluate, and prioritize the exchange and vendor data required for the next phase of TradFi products.
Lead sourcing and commercial negotiations with exchanges, consolidators, and market data vendors; own licensing agreements (display / non-display, per-user, enterprise), renewals, and the overall data spend.
Drive end-to-end data integration with engineering: feed onboarding, normalization, symbology and reference data, corporate actions, and distribution to trading and client-facing surfaces.
Build governance across the data lifecycle: entitlements management, data-quality monitoring, lineage, and compliance with exchange usage policies and audit requirements.
Partner with product, legal, and compliance on data licensing and redistribution terms as the TradFi roadmap expands into new products, markets, and regions.
Maintain a live view of the market data landscape — new sources, vendors, partnership models, and pricing — to keep the stack best-in-class and cost-efficient.
Build and mentor a small, growing market data team; establish the operating cadence with product and engineering.
Act as the in-house expert on TradFi market data and market structure, translating exchange and vendor conventions for crypto-native teams.
