As a Data Strategy Intern, your core mission will be to develop and industrialize the group's Data Catalog, the cornerstone of our data governance, in direct connection with the AI governance initiatives ongoing within the Group: a reliable, well-documented and well-classified data landscape is the prerequisite for trusted and compliant GenAI use cases.

• o Draft technical documentation and standards for managing the assets fed into the Data Catalog : naming, classification, ownership and lifecycle rules ; leveraging AI tools to automate the production.


• o Liaise the Data Catalog roadmap with the AI governance objectives ongoing within the Group (data classification, sensitivity labelling, access rules for AI use cases).


• o Support the DLP technologies and the M365 team on the Microsoft stack linked to AI governance (Purview, Microsoft 365 Copilot): sensitivity labels, DLP policies, oversharing remediation and Copilot readiness.


• o Monitor KPIs and build the associated reporting materials based on your analyses and exchanges, to be presented in the data, business and IT steering committees and to communicate the evolution of the group's data landscape, governance and projects.


• o Leverage the innovative tools of the Data & Digital Solutions division to accelerate Data and AI Governance initiatives.

Strategic Coordination & Alignment

• o Aggregate user feedback on data accessibility and translate it into technical specifications for the IT teams to improve our Data Catalog.


• o Co-construct with the DPO, IRM, IT Ops and AI governance stakeholders a unified approach on accessibility, accountability and compliance around the group's data and AI usage.


• o Acting as a spokesperson for the Data Office on topics such as the Data Catalog, self-service BI, or the responsible use of AI on group data.

Data Democratization

• o Act as a representative of data initiatives and promote best practices around the Data Catalog.


• o Guide users towards the resources enabling them to become more autonomous in their use of data.

What can you expect from us?

• o Integration within a core team exposed to ODDO BHF's strategic issues.


• o An opportunity to influence innovative projects with business and technical management decision-makers.


• o A multi-skilled experience (technical and organizational) addressing cutting-edge topics.


• o The chance to discover leading finance roles through the lens of data (securities trading, private investment, metals trading, private equity, private banking, etc.).


• o The opportunity to work for a European financial leader in an international context.


• o Act as a representative of data initiatives and promote best practices around the Data Catalog.


• o Guide users towards the resources enabling them to become more autonomous in their use of data.
