You will also partner with central Data Governance teams within our Data and Client Platforms (DCP) organisation to define and maintain salient Data metrics and drive the overall Data Book of Work.

The role will also focus on planning and leading the execution of projects that will prepare the Execution Services “data estate” for implementation of Data Science, AI and ML use-cases.

What you’ll do:

Governance:

• Identify Execution Services Business Data Domains and confirm their Conceptual, Logical and Physical boundaries.

• Establish Critical Data Elements (CDEs) for all business processes.
• Review high level requirements of demand and identify detailed requirements for data modelling.

Sourcing and Lineage:

• Define detailed data lineage requirements including system to system lineage, table to table lineage and data element to data element lineage.
• Register master and reference data sources as per the Authorised Data System (ADS) registration process as either a System of Record (SoR) or Authorised Redistributor (AR).
• Define the target state data architecture and track progression to this.
• Establish data contracts between data producers and consumers.
• Work with Data Services, Technology Owners and Data Owners to document and maintain data lineage.

Data quality:

• Define data quality rules and work with Technology and/or Data & Client Platforms to implement the monitoring of these across Product processes.
• Identify data quality issues and ensure these are captured and managed through the remediation lifecycle (as per the Data Concerns Remediation Management (DCRM) process).

Other:

• Participate and support Internal and External Audit driven data tracing exercises.
• Work with the central Data Governance team to train the product organisation on data culture.
• Work with the central Data Governance team to ensure that any cross-border data approval requirements are authorised via the CDBC process and are captured within the CBAT tool.

What we’ll need from you:

• Background or experience in driving data change to help achieve business outcomes.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Prior experience of successfully delivering data governance change in a complex environment.
• Track record of implementing new data management capabilities or expanding existing capabilities.
