We are seeking a highly credible, senior Programme Manager to lead a critical Finance Data Programme focused on remediating COREP and FINREP regulatory reporting issues.

Lead the Finance Data Programme to remediate regulatory data issues, ensuring all Critical Data Elements (CDEs) originate from strategic golden source systems.

• Deliver high-quality, reconciled, and controlled COREP and FINREP reporting, aligned with regulatory expectations.
• Define, implement, and embed an operating model for data ownership, quality, and controls; challenge and change the operating model where necessary.
• Understand and document end-to-end data flows, lineage, and pipelines, ensuring accuracy from source to report.
• Manage the discovery of data derivation, identify gaps, and drive remediation of data quality issues.
• Plan and oversee detailed remediation activities, assigning accountable owners and tracking progress to outcomes.
• Actively engage with mid- to senior-level stakeholders, influencing decision-making and providing clear updates on progress and challenges.
• Provide clear direction, set priorities, and unblock issues, acting as a change agent rather than a passive overseer.
• Lead a small delivery team while remaining hands-on in data remediation activities.
• Operate under pressure, balancing competing priorities while maintaining attention to precision and quality.

To succeed in this role you will need:

• Extensive experience in regulatory reporting and data management, particularly COREP and FINREP.
• Hands-on delivery experience of large-scale data remediation programmes.
• Proven ability to identify and resolve data issues, ensuring alignment to golden source systems.
• Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills; comfortable engaging across mid- to senior-level leadership.
• Self-starter with outcome-driven focus, attention to precision, and the gravitas to lead and set direction.
• Detailed planning capabilities with accountability frameworks to ensure successful delivery.
• Excellent understanding of end-to-end data flows, lineage from source to report.
• Strong communication skills; able to articulate complex issues with a clear voice.

• Previous experience leading COREP/FINREP remediation programmes.
• Familiarity with regulatory environments, BCBS239 principles, and data governance best practices.
• Experience driving operational model changes to improve data quality.
• Self-starter, driven, and outcome-focused.
