Organisation DATA STRATEGY IMPLEMENTATION

Job Posting 27-Jul-2023, 10:44:02 AM

Data and Statistics Division(DSD) is the Bank's centre of expertise for compilation, dissemination and publication of regulatory and statistical data, promoting innovation and quality to support analysis, policy and decision making by the Bank's Committees, UK government departments and international organisations.

Data is collected from banks and buildings societies, credit unions, insurance companies and regulated mortgage lenders and administrators. This takes place via 35 statistical collections and over 200 regulatory collections.

We cleanse a sizeable proportion of these datasets and publish a large number of Statistical data via our interactive database.

We support MPC, FPC and PRA Board and our data are used in the Inflation Report, Financial Stability Report, Credit Conditions Review, Stress Test Results, FPC Core Indicators and Quarterly Bulletin.

The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people.

The Bank of England is a diverse organisation.

Each of its 4,000 plus people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom by maintaining monetary and financial stability.

This role operates in the Service Design team within the Data Collections Transformation Programme.

About us:

The Bank of England has embarked on an ambitious transformation program to overhaul the way we collect and use financial data.

Currently, the Bank is a data collection and processing engine. Data is collected from banks and buildings societies, credit unions, insurance companies and regulated mortgage lenders and administrators. This takes place via 35 statistical collections and over 200 regulatory collections.

The Transforming Data Collection program focuses on improving the way the Bank gets data, in order to better support our experts in shaping the UK economy.

For this strategic endeavour we need great people to help us to get it right.

Situated within a traditional business, we operate with a start up mentality.

Our transformation program is founded on a service design approach, addressing end-to-end journeys which cut across multiple services, institutions, digital systems and offline processes.

You can read more about the Transforming Data Collection (TDC) program on our website.
