He/she will be tasked with managing vendor relationships from sourcing, onboarding, through to termination.

The firm are building out many new businesses/strategies/product offerings, so it is crucial for this hire to instruct senior management RE what the firm should be looking at / what they should be considering for specific types of data (for example in the buildout of new strategies – what prospects best fulfil the requirements of the specific investment teams) -as a result the hire should expect to be working with senior, market leading investment professionals from day one, critically understanding their businesses / needs.
