As a Senior Data Strategy Analyst, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing strategic data initiatives across Investments. This role requires a seasoned professional with strong stakeholder management and engagement skills, a sharp analytical mindset, and the ability to understand, challenge, and improve data processes. You will collaborate closely with business stakeholders to map and re‑engineer processes, oversee data management tasks such as mapping and cleansing, and drive data quality and governance. While investment knowledge is advantageous, we value individuals with a curious and adaptive mindset who can quickly grasp complex data ecosystems and business structures. The ideal candidate will not only support current data strategy efforts but also grow into a data owner or librarian role challenging assumptions, ensuring data integrity, and contributing to long‑term data stewardship. Experience in asset management or investment banking is preferred, though candidates with relevant experience in other industries are encouraged to apply.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to gather and document requirements, translate them into actionable plans, and ensure successful delivery of solutions
• Drive data cleansing and mapping initiatives between upstream and downstream sources, identify issues and provide remediation solutions
• Build strong relationships with data owners and technology teams to support strategic data initiatives
• Investigate and resolve complex data exceptions with a curious, analytical, and proactive mindset

The Requirements

• Stakeholder Management and Engagement: Ability to engage with colleagues and manage stakeholders effectively
• Analytical Skills: Understanding of data and the ability to analyse it
• Process Mapping and Design: Understanding current processes and re‑engineering them as needed
• Experience: Ideally, 10+ years of experience, but the focus is on the right skills and capabilities rather than just years of experience
• Domain Knowledge: While investment knowledge is beneficial, the emphasis is on the ability to engage, challenge, and understand data
• Future Role: The person should be able to evolve into a data owner or librarian role, understanding and challenging data, and engaging with the business
• Advanced Microsoft Excel and SQL along with other skillsets will be highly advantageous
