Company Description

CP Capital Enterprises partners with financial institutions, investment managers, and corporations to provide data-driven solutions that give them a competitive edge. Through an outsourced data strategist model, CP Capital streamlines alternative data sourcing, data vendor management , vendor negotiations, and data onboarding for its clients — work led by founder Chris Petrescu, former Head of Data Strategy at ExodusPoint Capital Management and data strategist at WorldQuant.

Role Description

This is a remote Data Strategist role focused on the buy-side of CP Capital's business — helping hedge fund and investment manager clients source, evaluate, and negotiate for alternative and traditional data. You'll develop data sourcing strategies, run vendor evaluations, lead negotiations, and manage day-to-day relationships with our buy-side clients.

Qualifications

• Strong data strategy and sourcing skills
• Experience with alternative data for hedge funds — as a buyer or seller — is required. We're hiring for the buy-side team, so prior buy-side experience is a plus, but we're equally open to strong vendor/sell-side candidates looking to move to the buy side.
• 2–3 years of experience in the financial or data industry is REQUIRED. Applicants who do not have experience working with hedge funds, or at hedge funds, will be rejected.
• This is a role in Data SOURCING and STRATEGY — there is no Data Science component
• General understanding of financial markets and how data translates into investment value (e.g., alpha generation, risk management, portfolio construction) is highly preferred
• Multiple asset classes of data experience is a plus
• Bachelor's degree in some finance-related field is a plus
