Job summary

Thomson Reuters is seeking a Data & Analytics Business Partner to shape, prioritise, govern, and deliver data initiatives that drive better business outcomes, efficiency, and customer insight.

You will work across Product, Technology, Commercial, Finance, and Strategy & Operations as an individual contributor, leading the Reuters Data Forum and translating discussions into actionable backlogs and prioritized priorities.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in data, analytics, business partnering, product operations, strategy and operations, or a related role in a complex organisation.
• 7+ years of experience building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across product, editorial, commercial, technology, data, finance, or strategy teams.
• 5+ years facilitating prioritisation forums, governance meetings, working groups, or cadences that drive decisions, actions, owners, timelines, and accountability.
• 5+ years shaping ambiguous requests into problem statements, decision needs, prioritised requirements, success measures, and delivery-ready briefs.
• Experience managing a prioritised backlog, roadmap, or portfolio from intake through delivery, adoption, and impact review.
• 5+ years working with analytics, data products, reporting, KPIs, governance, data quality, access, privacy, or responsible AI, translating between business and technical audiences.
• Working knowledge of analytics tools, dashboard interpretation, KPI reporting, and modern data platforms, with enough technical fluency to ask the right questions without requiring hands-on expertise.
• 5+ years managing competing priorities, delivery issues, progress tracking, risks, trade-offs, and senior stakeholder communications.
• Experience operating in a fast-moving, matrixed environment with active management of priorities, dependencies, capacity, and timelines.

Responsibilities

• Build strong working relationships across Reuters business areas, including Product, Technology, Commercial, Finance, and Strategy & Operations.
• Act as the day-to-day D&A partner, helping stakeholders frame questions, clarify decisions, and connect to the right data, analytics, engineering, governance, or product expertise.
• Help build a consistent Reuters-wide data culture through shared definitions, clearer priorities, and greater confidence in decision data.
• Lead and facilitate the Reuters Data Forum, creating a transparent route to review requests, priorities, capacity, and trade-offs.
• Translate forum discussions into a prioritised backlog, agreed actions, named owners, timelines, dependencies, and success measures.
• Maintain visibility of outcomes, delivery status, risks, blockers, and escalations so leaders can make informed trade-offs.
• Work with stakeholders to understand the business questions behind requests, including performance, customer and content insight, product adoption, newsroom operations, commercial reporting, and AI enablement.
• Turn business needs into prioritised requirements assessed against capacity, data availability, governance needs, and strategic value.
• Communicate progress, trade-offs, risks, and decisions clearly to senior stakeholders and technical teams.
• Coordinate agreed Reuters D&A priorities from intake through prioritisation, delivery, adoption, and impact review.
• Partner with analytics, engineering, data science, governance, product, and business teams to remove blockers, clarify requirements, and sustain momentum.
• Track progress against success measures, stakeholder expectations, roadmap commitments, and expected business value.
• Provide concise leadership updates on delivery, risks, decisions needed, and trade-offs.
• Promote Reuters data governance standards, shared KPI definitions, the data catalogue, D&A Hub, and reusable governed platforms.
• Help stakeholders understand data quality, lineage, definitions, access, privacy, and responsible AI implications before data is used for decisions or automation.
