• Liaise with other Data teams in the Second Line and leverage their expertise to apply to Enterprise Risk’s scope.
• Champion data governance and data quality by ensuring data integrity, security, and access control through best practices.

Who you are

• An experienced data professional with a proven track record of 5+ years in a (technical) data analyst, business intelligence, or similar role.
• Proficient in Python, SQL, PySpark, and BI tools (e.g. Looker). Experience with big data tools like Spark, Hadoop, Git, and Airflow is a strong advantage.
• You enjoy working in a high-paced, technology-driven environment where you may need to shift priorities.
• You work with intention, a strong sense of ownership, and a bias for action.
• You are comfortable talking straight and challenging the status quo, specifically with the ability to interact and collaborate with a variety of internal stakeholders from diverse disciplines and cultures.
• Self-motivated, proactive, and result driven, always searching for scalable ways to streamline and add value to the business with attention to detail and high quality results.
• You hold a track record of various initiatives and implementation of them.
• An excellent communicator and collaborator, with the ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear and actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience working with risk management, financial data, and banking are a big plus
