The opportunity

This is not a typical project management role.

You will lead the Data for Risk (D4R) portfolio end-to-end- shaping how data flows, connects, and delivers value across Risk Technology. From data integration and pipelines, to data quality and controls, to reporting and regulatory insight- you own the delivery narrative.

You step in where things get complex: multiple teams, unclear ownership, stalled execution. You bring clarity, drive alignment, and turn ambition into measurable delivery.

This is a role for someone who doesn’t wait for structure - you create it.

Someone who doesn’t report progress - you make it happen.

Day-to-day responsibilities

Lead the D4R delivery agenda

• Own the full delivery lifecycle across Data for Risk: integration, ingestion, quality, transformation, and reporting

• Ensure data is not just moved, but trusted, usable, and delivering business value

• Drive progress across multiple concurrent data initiatives and platforms

Drive execution across organisational boundaries

• Align Risk Technology, Data teams, and business stakeholders around clear priorities and milestones

• Hold teams accountable for delivery - even outside your reporting line

• Remove friction where ownership is split or unclear

Bring structure to complexity

• Translate a fragmented data landscape into a clear, phased delivery plan

• Define “what good looks like” across data quality, lineage, controls, and reporting outputs

• Maintain a single, consistent view of scope, status, and dependencies

Make data delivery real

• Ensure pipelines are productionised, data is reconciled, and reporting is actionable

• Push beyond PoCs and partial delivery - completion and adoption are the goal

• Identify opportunities to accelerate value (e.g. interim datasets, simplified reporting layers)

Lead high-impact sessions

• Run focused working sessions that result in decisions, ownership, and timelines

• Challenge ambiguity, surface risks early, and drive resolution

• Expect preparation and substance - not status updates

Own the narrative upward

• Translate technical data topics into clear business impact and risk language

• Provide structured, outcome-driven updates to senior stakeholders

• Highlight what matters: progress, risks, decisions needed

Who are we looking for

A delivery leader, not a coordinator

• You have led complex, cross-functional programmes where data was central to success

• You are comfortable taking ownership in environments where structure is imperfect

Strong understanding of data in practice

• Experience with data integration, pipelines, quality frameworks, and reporting

• You understand the difference between “data available” and “data usable”

• Familiar with regulatory or risk-driven data environments (highly valued)

Execution mindset

• You focus on outcomes, not activity

• You push through blockers and hold others accountable

• You are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information

Clarity and influence

• You simplify complexity into clear actions

• You can challenge senior stakeholders constructively and effectively

• You communicate with precision - no noise, no ambiguity

Naturally structured, but pragmatic

• You bring discipline (milestones, ownership, tracking), but don’t hide behind process

• You adapt quickly when reality changes, without losing momentum

Energy and presence

• You bring momentum into the room

• You raise the bar on preparation, accountability, and delivery standards

• You leave every discussion with a clear next step
