Description

The EMEA Chief Data Office (CDO) has responsibility to deliver the UK data quality programme in addition to a broad remit to implement and embed improved data governance and data management practices throughout the EMEA region.

The UK data quality programme, centered on addressing regulator feedback on Citi's approach to data, has the following objectives

1) establish a UK entity-focused book of work that delivers significant regulatory, control and commercial benefits including remediation of material data quality issues

2) strengthen Senior Manager engagement in data quality initiatives, including BCBS 239 and front-to-back working groups

3) improve engagement with the regulator

4) establish connection with strategically important programmes and,

5) demonstrate engagement and influence with the Group Transformation initiative.

One of our key objectives is to establish a forum for front to back engagement for identifying and remediating cross-functional data quality issues.

This is to establish operational data practices including material issue logging, on-going data quality measurement, metrics and controls are embedded within UK Data Quality programme and that a cross-programme view of data gaps, risks and issues are escalated to UK Senior Managers and appropriate forums for remediation.

A light touch interaction with several strategic programmes is also in place currently and we are looking to extend the breadth of programmes and refresh objectives/outcomes from ongoing collaboration.

We are looking for an experienced asset class aligned data and analytics project manager to build strong relationships with multiple functions and strategic programmes, agree the level and type of support to be provided by the EMEA CDO team, agree a set of measurable outcomes from the ongoing interaction and ultimately ensure robust data practices are adopted.

The role will require interaction with senior functional leads, programme leads and sponsors, products, and data management teams globally, the Enterprise Chief Data Office (ECDO), global transformation teams, and EMEA entity stakeholders.

Experience of running cross functional data intensive projects is a must and interaction with internal compliance/audit functions are highly desired.

Given the scale, complexity, and ambition of Citi's global data transformation, the EMEA CDO team is dynamic, agile, flexible, and responsive to fast changing needs.

This role will need to be adept at working in this environment, handle ambiguity and complexity well, be able to deliver on multiple responsibilities and most importantly be extremely 'hands on'.
