Data Governance Positions - Data Analytics & Management

Multiple Data Governance Positions – Interim

We are currently recruiting on behalf of a major banking client for a number of Data Governance Analysts at various corporate levels to play key roles in an ongoing Data Transformation Programme.

The ideal candidate will have knowledge of Data Governance, BCBS239, ECB onboarding and Operational Risk management practices.

This is a strategic opportunity for an experienced professional to contribute to the development and execution of the EMEA Data Strategy within a growing Data Office.

The successful candidate will work closely with stakeholders across the organisation, providing critical support to enhance data governance practices—particularly within the Risk and Finance domains. As some data governance principles are still maturing within the organisation, the role will also require an individual with strong influencing skills and the ability to educate stakeholders at all levels on the importance of data governance and management.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the implementation of data governance activities across Risk and Finance domains in alignment with BCBS239 regulatory standards.
• Take ownership of data definition, lineage, and governance for priority use cases, ensuring end-to-end oversight.
• Monitor changes in business data requirements, coordinating change and release management processes across data domains.
• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders to develop and promote adoption of EMEA-wide data standards and governance frameworks.
• Investigate data quality issues and support the development of remediation strategies to address root causes.
• Champion a culture of data accountability, driving improvements in architecture, management, and quality practices.
• Contribute to the broader transformation efforts led by the EMEA Data Office, which span cultural, behavioural, procedural, and systems-based change.

Key Requirements:

• Deep knowledge of data governance, data quality, and data analysis techniques, particularly within the context of Risk and Finance.
• Strong understanding of BCBS239 regulations and their application within Tier 1 or Tier 2 banking environments.
• Proven experience engaging and influencing senior stakeholders, including executive and board-level communication.
• Expertise in complex data structures, with a strong grasp of Risk and Finance data calculations and domain knowledge.
• Familiarity with enterprise-level data management principles, including logical, physical, and business data modelling.
• Analytical thinker with a track record of delivering effective, practical solutions.
• Proficient in Microsoft Excel, Visio, and PowerPoint, with experience in business process modelling.
• Collaborative team player with the capability to work independently when required.
• Professional presence, excellent communication, and strong presentation skills.
• Prior exposure to Collibra or similar data governance tools is highly advantageous.

Desirable Skills:

• Experience supporting ECB onboarding initiatives.
• Familiarity with data visualisation and collaboration tools such as Power BI, Tableau, and SharePoint.
• Exposure to technical tools including SQL, Python, R, and data engineering frameworks.
• Understanding of data-related regulatory compliance and emerging trends within the data management space.
