About LSEG

We are a leading global financial markets infrastructure and data provider. Our purpose is driving financial stability, empowering economies and enabling customers to create sustainable growth. Our culture of connecting, creating opportunity and delivering excellence shapes how we think, how we do things and how we help our people fulfil their potential.

Summary of Business Unit/Function:

Across LSEG’s three divisions - D&A, Capital Markets and Post-Trade, there are multiple processes, systems and teams that source, govern and distribute customer data. This variation has evolved over time as a result of M&A activity and the lack of focus upon centralising and mastering customer data as a core asset.

Given the disparate ways of handling customer data, there was a lack of consolidated view of LSEG’s customers, their products and services subscribed, entitlements, revenue and profitability.

The overall Customer Master Data (CMD) programme will provide the capabilities required to support the operational processing and strategic/financial business analysis needs of LSEG’s businesses by delivering the following points:

• Consistent, accurate, high quality customer data sourced from authoritative sources
• Centrally mastered customer record for distribution to business users/processes by CDM Operations Team
• Integration right across the LSEG client lifecycle, from prospect identification to KYC to offboarding
• Full visibility of accurate Legal Entity Hierarchies
• Robust Data Governance processes and tooling to govern customer data across the group.

The core business outcome of CMD is to have a centralized single data store which provides consistent customer data for both heritage Refinitiv and heritage LSEG organizations, supported by a consistent and accurate Legal Entity Hierarchy (LEH) which is being delivered over multiple phases.
