Lead the Data for Risk portfolio, owning end-to-end data integration, quality, and reporting to deliver trusted, regulatory-compliant insights across Risk Technology.
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 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
