About the role

TradingView, a financial analysis platform with more than 100 million users, operates a global market data portfolio across exchanges and data providers. It is looking for a Senior Director to take senior ownership of this function, with a core focus on commercial strategy: sourcing and licensing market data, structuring commercial models and negotiating better outcomes. The role works closely with Product, Engineering, Legal and Finance.

Key responsibilities

• Define and execute TradingView's global commercial strategy for market data and own strategic relationships with exchanges and data providers.
• Lead negotiations on pricing, tiers, enterprise agreements, usage models, minimum commitments, waivers and other terms, and challenge existing arrangements to reduce costs and improve terms.
• Own the commercial and licensing framework, advise on display and non-display usage, redistribution and derived data, and lead discussions on audits, licensing questions and disputes.
• Partner with Legal on licensing, contractual interpretation and exchange requirements.
• Build a fact-based view of the portfolio's economics, develop business cases for major sourcing decisions and establish metrics to measure commercial performance.
• Provide senior leadership with recommendations on market data strategy and commercial decisions, and partner with Product and Engineering on how product changes affect commercial arrangements.

Required profile

• Significant experience in market data, ideally from an exchange, market data provider, broker, trading platform or investment firm.
• Strong track record of negotiating directly with exchanges and data providers, having personally led complex commercial negotiations.
• Experience managing senior relationships with exchanges and major data providers, and leading and developing specialist teams.
• Ability to work across commercial, product, technical and legal topics without being the deepest expert in every area.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Required skills

• Deep understanding of market data licensing, exchange policies, pricing structures and commercial models.
• Knowledge of display and non-display usage, professional and non-professional users, redistribution, derived data, enterprise licensing and audit or true-up mechanisms.
• Useful experience with market data management or inventory platforms such as MDSL, Calero, TRG Screen or similar.
• Experience with analytics, automation or AI tools to improve commercial analysis and vendor management.
