Front-Office Data Support Analyst

As a Front-Office Data Support Analyst Intern at 21Shares, you sit on the front-office trading desk at the centre of the firm's ETF/ETP business. You gain direct, ongoing exposure to how 21Shares' data, products, and market activity connect, working across research, reconciliation, and performance while building and maintaining the underlying data infrastructure.

What you'll do

• Maintain and validate daily data feeds (NAV, AUM, flows, holdings, staking rewards, index values) across the internal database and third-party APIs, flagging discrepancies before they affect product health
• Serve as the link between the trading desk and the data/engineering team, translating desk requirements into technical specifications and communicating data and system constraints back to trading and product stakeholders
• Identify manual or spreadsheet-based reporting workflows and replace them with Python, SQL scripts, or Claud dashboards to reduce turnaround time and error rate, documenting the process
• Support quality assurance of data published to external channels (website, product pages, factsheets) to ensure consistency with the internal source of truth
• Handle ad hoc data requests from product development, risk, and distribution teams
• Independently identify gaps in data coverage or reporting and take ownership of resolving them
• Partner directly with product, research, and legal teams, translating data into outputs used both internally and externally

What you bring

• A Bachelor or Master's degree in Quantitative Finance, Mathematics, Engineering, Economics, or a related field
• Strong experience coding in Python and SQL within a collaborative development environment (work, team projects, or open-source contributions)
• Genuine interest in financial markets and curiosity to learn about risk management, market dynamics, blockchain and DeFi concepts
• Strong analytical and quantitative skills
• Excellent communication and cross-team collaboration skills
• A disciplined, self-starter approach with high rigor and attention to detail
• A willingness to challenge and be challenged to find the best solutions to problems
