- Identify where process gaps, manual workarounds, or inconsistent practices lead to data quality issues
- Help prioritize and resolve data issues
- Support data quality monitoring, reconciliations, root cause analysis, and issue remediation efforts
- Increase transparency into how credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and market risk data is sourced, defined and used across the organization
- Lead and develop a team of analysts; coach performance, and ensure consistent execution of data governance processes
Qualifications - 7+ years of experience in financial risk roles (credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and/or interest rate risk) within a bank
- Ability to explain complex risk concepts to both risk and non-risk audiences
- Strong collaboration, influence, and problem-solving skills

- No requirement for formal data management experience
EDUCATION- Degree or equivalent work experience equally preferable
