Business Partnership & Demand Management

• Drive workshops with business and data domain stakeholders to understand their objectives, clarify data needs, and translate them into structured requirements for data products


• Partner with Data Domain Coordinators to turn the SI B Data Domain Vision into prioritised initiatives and backlogs, balancing business value, dependencies, and technical feasibility

Strategic Research

• Conduct continuous market research on best practices in data management, quality, and governance. Translate external innovations into actionable, strategic recommendations to expand the capabilities and maturity of SI B Data Governance

What We Offer

• Meaningful business impact: Help improve the data foundation behind SI B’s data products and business decisions


• Technical and strategic development: Broaden your expertise through close mentoring and work spanning data governance, data quality, and data product enablement


• Cross-functional exposure: Collaborate with business and technical teams across SI B, with regular opportunities to engage senior stakeholders


• A collaborative team: Join data professionals who value technical understanding, practical delivery, curiosity, and innovation
