• Collaborate with stakeholders from the risk organisation, data management professionals, and architects across Finance, Risk, and Compliance.

• Professional background in risk management within a banking or financial services (e.g., credit, market, counterparty, or liquidity risk).
  

• Experience working with business information models, data definitions, data mapping, data flows, or similar disciplines that help structure and govern business-critical data.
  

• Good understanding of how data is managed and consumed across organisations, including reporting, analytics, regulatory processes, and modern data management practices.
  

• Knowledge of regulatory and data management requirements within Finance and Risk, and an understanding of the role that data plays in supporting compliance, reporting, and decision-making.
  

• Ability to bridge business and data perspectives and translate complex requirements into clear and practical information structures.
  

• Strong problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
  

• Ability to collaborate effectively with a positive, solution - oriented mindset.
  

• Excellent communication and documentation skills to convey complex ideas effectively to both business and IT professionals.
