About the role
Key responsibilities & impact- Own the end-to-end relationship with Upvest’s market data and static asset data providers.
- Lead commercial negotiations independently and end-to-end, from initial terms through to signature and renewal.
- Ensure that Upvest’s redistribution of market data to B2B clients is properly licensed across all use cases and client types.
- Fulfill entitlement and usage reporting obligations to direct reporting exchanges and data sources. Maintain accurate records of Upvest’s data consumption and distribution to support audit readiness at all times.
- Act as the expert voice on market data licensing for internal teams advising on what data products clients can access, at what cost, and under what licensing conditions.
- Lead the assessment, selection, and onboarding of new market data providers and exchanges as Upvest expands into new asset classes and markets.
- Establish and maintain best-practice governance processes for market data management.
- Identify cost-saving opportunities through licence renegotiation, consolidation, or usage optimisation.

- Provide support in the management of other Network partners where needed, working closely with the Head of Network to ensure consistent partner oversight across the team.
Requirements
What you’ll need- Legal foundation: A law degree or equivalent legal training is strongly preferred. Candidates without a formal legal background but with 5+ years of deep, hands-on market data licensing experience will equally be considered.
- Market data expertise: 3–6 years of experience working in the market data space - ideally from within a data vendor (e.g. SIX, FactSet, ICE, Bloomberg, Refinitiv/LSEG), exchange, or the market data function of a financial institution or fintech.
- Licensing depth: Strong working knowledge of exchange licensing frameworks, redistribution rights, derived data rules, and direct reporting obligations. You understand what it means to be on both sides of a licensing agreement.
- Commercial sharpness: You can run a commercial negotiation from term sheet to signature, hold your ground with vendor counterparts, and know when to push and when to compromise.
- Technical fluency: You understand how market data is distributed - entitlement systems, data feeds, APIs - and can engage credibly with Product and Engineering teams when evaluating new provider integrations or data delivery architectures.
- Structured thinker: You are detail-driven, documentation-oriented, and capable of bringing order to a complex, multi-provider licensing landscape.
- Communication: Fluent in English. German is a plus but not required.
- Location: Based in Berlin (mandatory).
