Business Development Associate

About Quanted

Quanted is the centralised discovery engine that connects the buy‑side with statistically validated data pre‑trial, enabling faster decisions in trillion‑dollar markets. Our hybrid platform identifies high‑signal market features across both discretionary and quantitative strategies, so investors can validate ideas, refine models and uncover new alpha before ever engaging a vendor. This allows funds to evaluate millions of data points within minutes while ensuring full IP protection for both the investor and the vendor.

About This Role

Quanted is seeking a Data Partnerships Associate to grow and manage our network of data providers across market, fundamental, alternative, and emerging datasets.

Your Responsibilities

• Vendor acquisition & onboarding: Identify and secure new data providers, introduce them to our platform, and set clear expectations for collaboration and success.
• Account management: Serve as the main contact for a portfolio of vendors, managing regular check-ins, updates, and relationship growth opportunities.
• Vendor success: Translate user and platform insights into actionable feedback for partners, improving dataset visibility, commercial fit, and market reach.
• Partnership strategy: Contribute to how we position, profile, and categorize datasets so value is clear to buyers.
• Go-to-market support: Collaborate on partner showcases, launches, and marketing initiatives to highlight vendor value.
• Cross-team coordination: Work with growth, product, and technical teams to ensure smooth integrations, updates, and partner initiatives.
• External representation: Represent Quanted in meetings, calls, and events with data vendors and industry stakeholders.
