About The Position

The Data Acquisition Support Specialist coordinates the technical intake, legal compliance tracking, and administrative workflows needed to acquire and integrate third-party data assets. The role connects commercial partnership managers, technical integration teams, and legal and procurement stakeholders to support seamless data onboarding, compliance with licensing terms, and accurate record-keeping.

The specialist coordinates technical intake prerequisites for new data providers, maintains documentation for data feeds, supports troubleshooting of delivery issues, tracks acquisition agreements from initiation through execution, and records contractual requirements. The role also verifies provider documentation before feed activation, maintains the central Data Acquisition Salesforce, monitors vendor performance against service-level agreements, and reconciles usage, data volumes, and invoices with procurement and finance.

Requirements

• 2–4 years of experience in data acquisition, vendor management, data governance, or product support roles within a data-driven organization.
• Hands-on experience or working familiarity with data products, licensing models, and identity or data integration solutions.
• Comfort navigating data structures, APIs, and file delivery methods such as SFTP, cloud storage, and direct feeds.
• Strong ability to read and interpret complex licensing agreements, contract terms, and usage metrics.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to explain data availability, licensing constraints, and business impacts to non-technical stakeholders.

Responsibilities

• Coordinate technical intake prerequisites for new data providers with the Data Ingestion team.
• Maintain technical documentation for data feeds, including schema mappings, data dictionaries, update and delta schedules, and ingestion pipeline notes.
• Partner with data ingestion teams to troubleshoot delivery failures, format anomalies, and feed interruptions.
• Track data acquisition agreements—including NDAs, Data License Agreements, Order Forms, and Amendments—from initiation through execution.
• Audit and log contractual parameters, including permitted use cases, restrictions, redistribution rights, renewal dates, notice periods, termination conditions, data retention schedules, and purge or deletion mandates.
• Log and verify Provider Data Sheets, Data Privacy Impact Assessments (DPIAs), and security questionnaires before feed activation.
• Maintain the central Data Acquisition Salesforce, recording provider status, feed types, renewal cadences, and key operational contacts.
• Monitor vendor performance against SLAs, including delivery timeliness and data quality standards.
• Reconcile vendor usage, data volume metrics, and invoice details with procurement and finance to ensure accurate billing against contract caps.
