• Champion the adoption of strategic data solutions across functions, ensuring stakeholders at all levels understand and are aligned on the target vision.
• Act as the subject matter expert on data within the Markets domain, providing guidance that keeps business initiatives consistent with firm strategy and best practices.
• Identify, escalate, and manage program risks and issues, ensuring mitigation strategies are developed and executed to protect delivery timelines.

• Proven experience in program delivery within financial services, with a clear track record of coordinating cross-functional data programs in complex, matrixed organisations.
• Substantive knowledge of Capital Markets business and products, including a solid understanding of trade lifecycle across Front, Middle, and Back Office functions.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams and consistently deliver high-quality outputs under pressure and to tight deadlines.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage credibly and clearly with stakeholders from working level through to executive leadership.
