About this opportunity
Welcome to the Market & Reference Data team at an exciting transformation moment. We're building a unified team with two core capabilities: Monitoring and Analytics. As part of our Market & Reference Data Monitoring team, you'll ensure the reliability and accuracy of our critical data products. You'll proactively monitor Reference Data, Benchmarks, and Prices — ensuring our business operates with trusted, high-quality data at all times.
Beyond data oversight, you'll maintain our technical infrastructure and play a vital role in our continuous improvement journey. This is an opportunity to make a real impact on NAM's data foundation while being part of a dynamic, evolving team.
Main responsibilities in this role:
- Monitor and validate data quality across Reference Data, Benchmarks, and Pricing feeds — identifying exceptions and ensuring timely resolution to maintain operational excellence.
- Maintain and support technical infrastructure including data pipelines, monitoring systems, and automated workflows to ensure reliable data delivery to business stakeholders.
- Execute daily operational processes including data reconciliation, exception management, and stakeholder communication to ensure continuous, high-quality data supply across NAM's critical business functions.
- Contribute to the development and documentation of operational procedures, runbooks, and technical guidelines to support team scalability and knowledge sharing.
- Collaborate with colleagues across Lisbon and Copenhagen to support cross-functional data initiatives and drive continuous improvement.
You'll join a growing Lisbon team, part of our broader Market and Reference Data organisation of 15 professionals across Lisbon, Copenhagen, and Stockholm. As we build our unified team structure, you'll have the opportunity to collaborate internationally while contributing to our local growth and transformation.
The role is based in Oeiras (Quinta da Fonte).
