• Oversee the transition of governance activities from KPMG to an in‑house model, ensuring continuity and stability.
• Serve as the primary contact for controls, audits, and risk, clearly representing governance status and remediation plans.
• Collaborate with Solidatus and Operations teams to embed governance requirements into data lineage and operational workflows.
• Develop and execute an annual governance roadmap aligned to the organisation’s data management and analytics maturity goals.
• Identify governance gaps and risks, driving remediation and continuous improvement initiatives.
• Deliver concise, actionable governance updates to senior stakeholders to support informed decision‑making.

Required Skills & Experience

• 10–15 years’ experience in data analysis, governance, risk, compliance, and data management within regulated financial services.
• Proven track record leading large, multi‑disciplinary teams (20+ members) and record of multi Domain understanding in Financial services
• Regulatory experience with relevant certifications in Governance.
• Demonstrated experience working with regulatory frameworks, audits, and control functions, with the confidence to operate under regulatory scrutiny.
• Minimum 6 years of people‑management experience, including performance management and capability development in governance teams.
• Strong hands‑on background with the ability to review, validate, and challenge detailed governance work.
• Proven ability to lead end‑to‑end governance operations, including planning, execution, reporting, and stakeholder engagement.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills with the presence to influence and engage senior leaders and control partners.
• High ownership, urgency, and self‑motivation, with the ability to work independently and drive outcomes.
• Exceptional communication skills, able to translate complex governance topics into clear, business‑relevant insights.
• Comfortable working in an evolving environment and contributing to long‑term data management maturity, beyond short‑term compliance needs.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills for engaging teams, internal stakeholders, and customers.
• An authentic leader who inspires trust through energy, empathy, and credibility.
