Job description

Worldline helps businesses of all shapes and sizes to accelerate their growth journey - quickly, simply, and securely. We are the innovators at the heart of the payments technology industry, shaping how the world pays and gets paid. Our technology powers the growth of millions of businesses across 5 continents. And just as we help our customers accelerate their business, we are committed to helping our people accelerate their careers. Together, we shape the evolution.

The opportunity

This is not a typical project management role.

You will lead the Data for Risk (D4R) portfolio end-to-end — shaping how data flows, connects, and delivers value across Risk Technology.From data integration and pipelines ,to data quality and controls , to reporting and regulatory insight — you own the delivery narrative.

You step in where things get complex: multiple teams, unclear ownership, stalled execution. You bring clarity, drive alignment, and turn ambition into measurable delivery.

This is a role for someone who doesn’t wait for structure — you create it.
Someone who doesn’t report progress — you make it happen.

Day-to-day responsibilities

Lead the D4R delivery agenda

• Own the full delivery lifecycle across Data for Risk:integration, ingestion, quality, transformation, and reporting
• Ensure data is not just moved, buttrusted, usable, and delivering business value
• Drive progress across multiple concurrent data initiatives and platforms

Drive execution across organisational boundaries

• Align Risk Technology, Data teams, and business stakeholders aroundclear priorities and milestones
• Hold teams accountable for delivery — even outside your reporting line
• Remove friction where ownership is split or unclear

Bring structure to complexity

• Define “what good looks like” across data quality, lineage, controls, and reporting outputs
• Maintain asingle, consistent view of scope, status, and dependencies
• Ensure pipelines are productionised, data is reconciled, and reporting is actionable
• Push beyondPoCsand partial delivery —completion and adoption are the goal
• Identify opportunities to accelerate value (e.g. interim datasets, simplified reporting layers)

Lead high-impact sessions

• Run focused working sessions that result indecisions, ownership, and timelines
• Challenge ambiguity, surface risks early, and drive resolution
• Expect preparation and substance — not status updates

Own the narrative upward

• Translate technical data topics intoclear business impact and risk language
• Provide structured, outcome-driven updates to senior stakeholders
• Highlight what matters: progress, risks, decisions needed

Who are we looking for

A delivery leader, not a coordinator

• You have led complex, cross-functional programmes wheredata was central to success
• You are comfortable taking ownership in environments wherestructure is imperfect

Strong understanding of data in practice

• Experience withdata integration, pipelines, quality frameworks, and reporting
• You understand the difference between “data available” and “data usable”
• Familiar with regulatory or risk-driven data environments (highly valued)

Execution mindset

• You focus onoutcomes, not activity
• You push through blockers and hold others accountable
• You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information

Clarity and influence

• You simplify complexity into clear actions
• You can challenge senior stakeholders constructively and effectively
• You communicate with precision — no noise, no ambiguity

Naturally structured, but pragmatic

• You bring discipline (milestones, ownership, tracking), but don’t hide behind process
• You adapt quickly when reality changes, without losing momentum

Energy and presence

• You bring momentum into the room
• You raise the bar on preparation, accountability, and delivery standards
• You leave every discussion with a clear next step

At Worldline you’ll get the chance to be at the heart of the global payments technology industry and shape how the world pays and gets paid. On top of that, you will also:

• Private medical & life insurance
• Public transportation allowance
• Annual bonus.
