Research Analyst

Research Analyst, Full Time, London.

Neudata is hiring a Research Analyst to focus on helping build out its traditional data services. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to join a fast-growing team, help shape a key area of our business and work directly with some of the world’s leading institutional investors.

To apply, please email your CV and cover letter to [email protected]. Your cover letter should clearly explain why you believe you're a strong fit for this specific role. Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.

Company

Neudata’s mission is to make life easier for people who work with data. We provide independent, objective advice to asset managers, hedge funds, and corporations to help them make smarter decisions about which datasets to use – and which to avoid. That means saving them time and money in the process.

Our expertise is in alternative data – from social sentiment feeds to credit card transactions to ESG signals – but we’re now expanding into the world of traditional and market data.

We’re headquartered in London with offices in New York and Shanghai and run a leading global conference business alongside our core research and advisory services.

Our Values

• Deliver outstanding service.
• Treat everyone how we would like to be treated.
• Work better together.
• Do it the right way.
• Be uncompromisingly honest.
• Never cease to improve and innovate.

About the Role

The Research Analyst will join Neudata’s research team and work alongside our Market Data Lead to help grow ‘Ranger’ - a new high-growth offering designed to help our clients navigate traditional data sources such as those offered by Bloomberg, Refinitiv, S&P and many more. Example dataset types that will need to be covered include fund flow, index, volatility and exchange data.

You’ll work closely with clients to understand their data needs, analyse the competitive market data landscape, and produce actionable research that guides their decision making.

Key responsibilities:

• Conduct in-depth research on market data providers, including product offerings, pricing models, and distribution strategies.
• Evaluate and map the competitive landscape, identifying differentiators across the industry.
• Engage with buy-side clients (mostly hedge funds and asset managers) to understand their traditional data workflows and challenges.
• Analyse and compare market data products to assess their value and fit for various use cases.
• Produce high-quality written reports, highlighting industry trends and insights.
• Present key findings on research calls and market developments, tailored to their investment strategies.
• Attend and participate in Neudata’s international conferences.

About You

We’re looking for someone who is enthusiastic about data and excited to learn more about how traditional and market data are used by institutional investors. Given the recent success of our new traditional data offering, we are looking for candidates who are eager to help drive team success.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Excellent communication and writing skills – you can produce insightful, polished research that clients trust.
• A drive to build long-term relationships with traditional data providers.
• A strong background in market data sourcing, research, or analysis is preferred.
• A strong understanding of different market data types (e.g. exchange pricing, reference data, corporate actions data) and how each is used by institutional investors.
• Knowledge of who the major market data providers are and their products.
• Experience engaging with data buyers and institutional clients (ideally on the buy side).
• Strong time management skills evidenced from prior experience.
• Strong intellectual curiosity and enjoys taking the initiative to continuously learn.

Please note that this role is heavily focused on understanding and writing about the properties of a wide range of datasets (e.g., delivery frequency, history, price, USPs) and how they can be used, rather than working with the data to perform deep analysis. As such, the successful candidate does not require a strong background in data analysis or coding.

Compensation

• Competitive base salary.
• 25 days of annual leave plus an additional day for each year worked (capped at 30 days)
• Flexible work from anywhere, hybrid and office-based work.
• Study days.
• Volunteering day.
• Employee referral bonus scheme.
• Private medical insurance including dental, optical, and hearing.
• Enhanced family policies.
• Company social events.
• Workplace pension scheme with salary sacrifice and pension matching opportunities.
• The opportunity to work at the cutting edge of data innovation, in a fast-growing and
• supportive team.
