Founded in 2018, Talos provides institutional-grade trading technology for the global digital asset market, powering many of the major players in the crypto ecosystem. Our mission is clear: to advance the mass adoption of digital assets by seamlessly connecting institutions to the digital asset ecosystem. We are committed to building the most innovative and trusted platform in the world, supporting the entire trading lifecycle.

At Talos, you’ll find an environment that champions kindness and respect, values diverse perspectives, and upholds inclusivity at every turn. We believe every member of our team brings invaluable insights and abilities that drive Talos forward. In our pursuit of excellence, we foster a culture of trust, integrity, collaboration, and mutual growth.

We are a tight-knit yet globally distributed team of highly experienced engineers and business leaders, with hubs in New York, London, Singapore, and Cyprus. Whether in-office or remote, you’ll be part of a hybrid-friendly environment where your unique talents and insights will play a crucial role in building something extraordinary.

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.

• 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.

• 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…
