• Data analysis: Investigate changes in data, distinguishing between issues caused by performance problems and actual fee changes, and analyse complex datasets related to cross-border payments to provide actionable insights

• LLM and data validation: Perform manual checks of large language model (LLM) performance and implement data validation and quality assurance processes to ensure data integrity

• Performance monitoring: Monitor pipeline extraction performance, ensuring accuracy and high-quality data deliveries to clients

• Collaboration: Work closely with Product Managers, Data Engineers and business teams to translate findings into actionable product enhancements and reports

The Global Indices and Cards Team at FXC Intelligence is a diverse group of 10 professionals, including Product and Project Managers, Analysts and Data Specialists.
This team drives FXC Intelligence’s mission to provide critical data that shapes cross-border payment decisions at the highest levels of international policy and trade. Through our global indices products, we support leading financial organisations such as the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the World Bank, delivering essential benchmarks that inform policy and decision-making worldwide.
Additionally, the team oversees the “Cards” datasets, which capture FX and cross-border pricing data for card programs globally. By gathering detailed information on pricing structures for card issuers—including banks and payment companies—we offer comprehensive insights into the cards market across various regions.

You should apply if you have:

• Familiarity with statistical methods and predictive modelling techniques

• Proven experience with collaboration tools, issue tracking systems and Agile methodologies, including version control using Git

• Strong ability to present complex data insights to non-technical audiences

These skills will help, but aren’t essential:

• Experience with Airflow for managing ETL/ELT workflows

• Experience with data technologies (SQL) and cloud platforms (e.g. AWS)

• Familiarity with cross-border payments, economic datasets or fintech data is highly desirable
