Workstream Lead (m/f/d)

emagine is a high-end professional services consultancy and solutions firm specialising in providing business and technology services to the financial services sector. We have created a culture of openness and integrity by building genuine and strong relationships and partnerships, enabling us to be uncompromising in our dedication to delivering the optimal service for our clients. Our commitment is not just towards our clients but we aim to foster a positive and equitable working environment with our consultants and colleagues which stems from our core values: Confident, Dedicated, Responsible, Genuine.

We are seeking a Senior Business Solution Analyst with strong data competency and large-scale KYC transformation delivery experience. This role will focus on driving the successful delivery of complex data initiatives within a fast-paced, highly regulated environment. The ideal consultant will have deep data knowledge and domain content strength — including data modelling, big data architectures, and strong stakeholder management skills.

Key Responsibilities:

• Challenge data solutions and shape delivery from within—working deeply at the data level, not just overseeing from above.
• Lead the end-to-end delivery of KYC and data-centric initiatives, ensuring that data models, architecture, and flows align with regulatory and operational goals.
• Act as a data authority within the team—owning the content, working alongside developers, architects, and analysts to define data models, apply data integration patterns, and guide transformation from one model or structure to another.
• Define and oversee KYC-specific data governance strategies, customer data schemas, metadata lineage, and integration with source systems aligned to CDD/EDD and regulatory standards.
• Manage cross-functional teams including KYC ops, compliance, business, and technical teams—ensuring data remains the central driver of alignment and progress.
• Drive the adoption and integration of technologies supporting KYC delivery—such as data lake architecture, ETL pipelines, screening tools, and onboarding platforms—with a strong grasp of their data handling capabilities.
• Ensure compliance with AML, CTF, GDPR, and privacy regulations from a data lineage and governance standpoint.
• Establish and actively manage RAID frameworks, especially focused on risks and dependencies across data flows, models, and platform transitions.
• Translate complex data architectures and KYC processes into clear insights, delivering structured content and guiding executive-level decisions with confidence and clarity.
• Present and articulate data solutions to exec audiences, shaping and influencing transformation decisions based on strong content, not generic delivery models.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Strong KYC domain expertise, with a focus on customer data structures, onboarding journeys, and end-to-end regulatory data flows.
• Hands-on background in data management, ideally having started as a developer or data modeller, with experience building data models, mapping integration patterns, and transforming data between models and platforms.
• Demonstrated success in leading large-scale data transformations in financial services, with a focus on KYC and regulatory compliance—preferably within a global bank.
• Proven delivery track record on complex, data-intensive KYC workstreams, including data out initiatives, ensuring delivery is grounded in content, not just process.
• Deep understanding of data architecture, ETL frameworks, and big data platforms; able to engage at technical detail level to validate, challenge, and shape solutions.
• Proficient in data modelling (logical and physical), normalisation principles, metadata management, and designing for scalability across large datasets.
• Experienced in managing multiple concurrent data-focused workstreams, with the ability to move between technical deep dives and high-level executive presentations.
• Adept at applying data governance frameworks, aligning customer and regulatory data with CDD/EDD, AML, and GDPR requirements.
• Skilled in RAID management with a focus on data risks and dependencies, driving escalations based on factual insight and root cause analysis.
• Comfortable presenting complex data architectures and regulatory data models to executive stakeholders, influencing decisions through deep content knowledge.
• Prior experience with KYC platforms, onboarding tools, and financial crime data ecosystems is a strong plus.

Our people are integral to delivering successful consulting engagements, addressing our clients’ most pressing business challenges, and building lasting value in disciplines such as:

• Solve sophisticated, ambiguous business, change and technology problems, bringing structure and meticulous analysis and planning, acting, and taking decisions with little strategic direction.
• Build, develop and sustain trusted senior client relationships in the C-suite by remaining highly attuned to client needs.
• Drive, enable and support the business, partnering with our leaders, clients, and consultants across our practices to take the best of emagine to our clients through opportunity identification/qualification, solution development/presentation.
