ESG, AI and benchmark regulations … They’re all hot topics you’re sure to have heard about. In this context, the importance of market data is increasing. It’s a domain that’s in continuous motion due to changes in regulations, reporting requirements and innovations.

As a License Manager at KBC Asset Management, you strengthen the License Management team that is part of Operation Support, Oversight & Reporting. Your focus in this team? All licences for the management of market data, the internal needs relating to capturing market data, and an optimised, cost-efficient solution for fulfilling those needs. You’re the point of contact on this subject for colleagues, including those from the departments for portfolio management, finance and sales support, but also for the Market Data Competence Center for the KBC Group and external data suppliers.

As asset managers for the KBC Group, KBC AM manages funds and portfolios for a number of institutional and private clients. There is little doubt that market data plays a crucial role here. It’s an instrument that proves the high quality of our products and services to our clients, distributors and colleagues.

• You capture what business needs there are relating to market data. They may include benchmark data, reference data or ESG data.


• You subsequently make sure we have the right licences for using the data. You do this either through direct collaboration with international parties like Bloomberg, LSEG and MSCI, the Market Data Competence Center of the KBC Group, or the Legal department.


• You make sure data is used in agreement with licence contracts.


• You maintain an overview of nearshored activities in our Shared Center in Brno. This may involve the invoicing process, the management of our terminal and the process of renewing contracts.


• You participate in the annual budgeting process, helping to make sure budgets are not exceeded – an important contribution to keeping KBC AM operating costs under control.


• As a newcomer to our team, some of these tasks will be your first focus, but you’ll gradually take on additional tasks. We tune your growth path to your experience and your knowledge.
