• Conduct data governance assessments on reports related to IFRS9, Basel III, Liquidity, Credit Risk, and KYC/AML.
• Guide the maintenance of data element traceability from source systems to reporting outputs using governance tools.
• Interpret regulatory requirements from MAS, BNM, APRA, BoT, BCBS 239, and translate them into actionable data governance operations.
• Work with compliance teams to ensure policies align and prepare for audits or inspections.
• Review and assist in remediation of data gaps or inconsistencies in regulatory reporting.
• Facilitate rollout of data governance frameworks, including ownership models, data quality standards, and KDE identification across APAC.
• Engage business, IT, and architecture stakeholders to implement effective governance for critical reporting workflows.
• Support metadata enrichment and key data element cataloging within Collibra for risk and finance datasets.
• Collaborate with tool specialists to manage lineage, ownership, and business definitions in governance platforms.
• Ensure alignment between metadata repositories and actual data usage for regulatory frameworks like Basel, IFRS 9, Liquidity, Large Exposure, etc.
• Act as liaison between business units (Risk, Finance, Compliance) and data governance/IT teams.
• Conduct training sessions and workshops for data stewards and report owners on KDE management, data ownership, and lineage.
• Drive resolution of data-related issues impacting reporting accuracy or regulatory compliance.

• Understanding of the full data flow from source systems through risk calculations to regulatory report submissions.
• Familiarity with data governance concepts and their operationalization, including data ownership, data quality, metadata management, and lineage.
• Experience using data governance platforms such as Collibra is preferred; working knowledge of data management systems, ETL processes, or regulatory reporting tools (e.g., Vermeg, Moody’s, SAS) is advantageous.
• Strong stakeholder management skills to foster collaboration between business and IT teams.
