Data strategists manage the whole process of sourcing alternative datasets, often working closely with quants, data scientists and portfolio managers. They help to screen datasets to select those which are likely to show promise and fit the requirements of the business. Quants and data scientists then test these shortlisted datasets in a rigorous process.

Data strategy refers to the tools, processes, and rules that define how to manage, analyze, and act upon business data. A data strategy helps you to make informed decisions based on your data. It also helps you keep your data safe and compliant.

Business people know that foresight and good business strategy are essential for maintaining a competitive position. Data strategies are typically developed by business managers seeking buy-in from business leaders. On the other hand, data scientists and data engineers continue to generally have organizational alignment with IT or digital operations, even though the data strategy and vision will be developed by business people. Therefore, there is a current, and growing, need for a translational role between the data professional and business manager/leader.

Data strategists need the technical skills to understand data. It isn’t necessarily about coding lots of Python every day or discussing the minutiae of a particular regression technique. Instead, it’s more about having the intuition to know which datasets are likely to be valuable for the firm’s trading style and to leave those which are likely irrelevant. Data strategists also need excellent soft skills, given that a data strategist acts as a bridge between the outside firms and internal clients such as data scientists and portfolio managers.

Data strategists also require great soft skills, considering that a data strategist functions as a bridge between the outside businesses and inside clients such as data scientists and portfolio managers. As a data strategist, you understand the business but know the technology and analytics well enough to know what the IT, BI and data scientist are doing and the tools they are using. You think strategy & business effect and you can transform the objectives of managers and executives to tangible data-driven initiatives & precise actions.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
