- Lead risk oversight for AI/ML and advanced analytics, including input integrity, output reliability, and model-data dependencies.
- Ensure cross-system data integrity, consistency, and effective controls across platforms and data pipelines.
- Lead data risk incident deep dives, ensuring root cause analysis and prioritization of remediation actions.
- Embed Data Risk into broader risk frameworks and governance forums, collaborating across operational, technology, and model risk functions.
Qualifications- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, Risk Management, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

- Proven experience designing and implementing risk frameworks and controls.
- Strong knowledge of data governance, data standards and data control environments.
- Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge and drive outcomes across cross-functional teams.
