• Define and evolve conceptual, logical data models within SCOR's Data Foundation.

• Establish common business definitions, semantics, and canonical data structures across Finance, Actuarial, Risk, and Corporate functions.

• Lead the design of the Finance Analytical Data Model, ensuring consistency, traceability, reconciliation capability, and alignment across source systems and business processes.

• Work closely with Finance, Actuarial, and Business stakeholders to translate complex reinsurance and finance requirements into scalable and reusable data structures.

• Ensure appropriate handling of granularity, historical tracking, time dimensions, accounting perspectives, and regulatory requirements.

• Drive alignment between operational data, analytical data products, reporting requirements, and AI-enabled use cases.

• Define standards and best practices for Finance data architecture, information modeling, metadata management, and data governance.

• Support enterprise initiatives related to IFRS 17, Solvency II, Technical Closing, Reserving, Planning, Forecasting, and Performance analytics.

• Partner with Data Engineers, Solution Architects, and Domain Leads to ensure consistent implementation of target-state data models across the Finance ecosystem.

• Proven experience designing enterprise-scale conceptual and logical data models used across multiple business functions.
