GM, HEAD OF DATA We are seeking someone to lead the Talos data business and position it for strong, sustainable growth. You’ll own the P&L, product strategy and client relationships for our digital assets data offering, built on the Coin Metrics acquisition. Working closely with engineering, sales and executive leadership, you’ll shape how our data products are built, packaged and taken to market. This is a high-ownership role for an experienced business leader who has built or run a data business before and believes digital assets are where markets are heading. RESPONSIBILITIES - Own the P&L for the data business, including revenue, costs, forecasting and performance reporting to executive leadership. - Set and execute product strategy: decide where to invest, what to scale and what to sunset, based on product traction and market demand. - Build a commercial model that serves both self-service customers and enterprise clients, including packaging, pricing and distribution. - Lead the research, product and data science teams, making sure research drives product development and supports Talos more broadly. - Partner with sales, marketing and engineering, which sit outside your reporting line, to align priorities and deliver revenue growth. - Own client outcomes and account health, resolving issues and driving retention and expansion. - Define the positioning and brand strategy for the data business within the wider Talos group. - Build a high-performing, motivated team with a strong sense of ownership and shared identity. QUALIFICATIONS - Proven experience leading a business unit or owning a P&L, ideally at a market data, index or financial data provider. - A track record of turning around or growing a business, with clear, measurable results. - Strong data product expertise, including monetisation, packaging, pricing and go-to-market for both self-service and enterprise models. - A background in capital markets. Digital assets experience is a plus, but a strong understanding of and conviction about the asset class is essential. - Demonstrated ability to influence and deliver through cross-functional teams without direct authority. - Experience building and leading research, product or data science teams. - Sound commercial judgement and accurate forecasting. - Executive presence and the ability to engage and constructively challenge senior leadership. - A builder’s mindset, suited to fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments rather than established incumbents.
