Client Details

The client is a well-established, globally recognised financial institution with a strong presence across EMEA and a clear commitment to data-driven transformation. You'll be joining a rapidly growing data office that's gaining real traction internally, with senior-level sponsorship, long-term investment in data strategy, and a rare opportunity to shape governance frameworks from the ground up.

Description

• Deliver data governance initiatives across Risk and Finance aligned to BCBS239 requirements.

• Manage the end-to-end lifecycle of critical data use cases, ensuring data is accurate, complete, and fit for purpose.

• Drive adoption of data standards, definitions, and lineage documentation in collaboration with business and technology stakeholders.
