Data and Analytics Governance Manager (London)

We’re supporting a leading Japanese bank in the search for an Analytics Governance Manager to join their expanding EMEA Data & Analytics function. This is a newly created role with a broad remit and high visibility across the organisation.

The role forms part of a dual-focus team driving analytics excellence across EMEA – combining tooling, talent development and governance to improve how analytics is delivered, maintained and used throughout the business. It also leads the establishment of a formal Analytics Governance Framework , expanding on the existing Data Governance capability.

This is a greenfield opportunity to shape how the organisation defines, controls and improves its Key Data Outputs (KDOs) – including metrics, KPIs, dashboards, models and reports – used in regulatory reporting, decision-making and business operations across all functions and regions.

Key responsibilities:

• Design and implement an Analytics Governance Framework across EMEA, aligned with existing data governance standards
• Lead the identification, classification and oversight of KDOs across the business
• Support critical regulatory initiatives, including compliance with BCBS239 and preparation for ECB onboarding
• Engage with stakeholders across risk, finance, compliance, front office and back office to embed governance principles
• Ensure consistency, quality and transparency of analytics outputs used in regulatory, operational and strategic decision-making
• Promote best practice in the development and maintenance of analytics products

What we’re looking for:

• Experience building or applying governance frameworks for analytics – not just data
• Strong understanding of analytics products and the end-to-end lifecycle from design to reporting
• Exposure to BCBS239 principles and experience of aligning governance to regulatory standards
• Proven experience in a financial services or banking environment
• Stakeholder engagement skills across technical and business functions
• Familiarity with tools such as Collibra, Tableau, PowerBI or Alteryx

We’re open to individuals from either a data governance background who understand analytics or those from analytics roles with experience in governance. What matters most is your ability to articulate what good looks like and help shape a framework from the ground up.

Interview process:

• First round interviews will take place within the next two weeks
• Final interviews will follow after 23 June
• Final stage will include HR

If you’re ready to shape analytics governance across a complex, international banking group, we’d love to hear from you.
