The successful candidate will provide independent oversight and challenge of first-line data owners, ensuring compliance with firm policies regarding metadata, lineage, and quality controls. Key responsibilities include overseeing data-related incidents, performing root cause analyses, developing risk metrics and indicators, and producing board-ready reports on residual risk. The role requires expertise in data governance principles, risk management frameworks like COSO ERM or NIST CSF 2.0, and the ability to manage complex stakeholder relationships.

  • Provide independent oversight and challenge first-line data owners to ensure compliance with firm risk policies.
  • Assess the design and operating effectiveness of data quality controls, rules, and reconciliation processes.
  • Oversee the triage, root cause analysis, and remediation of data-related incidents and operating events.
  • Develop and maintain data risk metrics and indicators to inform senior leadership on the firm's risk profile.
  • Produce board-ready reports that communicate inherent risks and the effectiveness of the control environment.
  • Manage the evolution of the data risk framework, including taxonomy development and expanded coverage.
  • Lead and develop a high-performing team while fostering a culture of accountability for first-line teams.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders and regulators to ensure a coordinated approach to data governance.

What we're looking for

  • 10+ years of experience in data risk, data governance, operational/enterprise risk management, or a related control or audit discipline.
  • Experience in asset management, banking, or financial services is preferred.
  • Strong understanding of data quality and governance principles across the lifecycle including ownership, metadata, lineage, and fitness for purpose.
  • Demonstrated experience providing independent oversight, review, and challenge of first line teams to ensure accountability.
  • Proven track record of designing risk metrics and producing decision-useful reporting for senior committees and boards.
  • Experience managing data incidents, performing root cause analysis, and tracking remediation efforts.
  • Familiarity with industry frameworks like DAMA DMBOK, COSO ERM, or NIST CSF 2.0 is preferred.
  • A bachelor's degree is required; an advanced degree or professional certifications such as CDMP, CRISC, or CISA are preferred.
