The Role

As the Head of FI Data Management, you blend deep understanding of data management practices with a dedication to enabling insights and data-driven decision making that will unlock business value from data across a wide range of FI business functions. As a function in FI, you will define and evolve your team's vision, strategy, and mission, and create a highly integrated plan for Data Management-aligned to the business's analytics and insights priorities and the Enterprise data strategy-ensuring that FI data is in the best possible ready state to address current and future business needs.

You will also ensure FI data is use-case ready, AI-ready, at scale, recognizing that while LLM capabilities are increasingly commoditized, data is the differentiator-and today's data is not consistently fit-for-purpose for AI use cases. You will establish pragmatic AI-readiness roadmaps, prioritize use cases, and build the governance, ownership, stewardship, and quality mechanisms required to make high-priority data domains reusable for AI-enabled outcomes.

The outcomes that you will drive:

• More unified view of structured and unstructured data. Data is well documented and easy to search.
• There are well understood processes and sufficient resources for addressing quality issues.
• Data as a product: FI data is treated and advanced as a strategic product
• Data is ready for current and future use cases. There is clear accountability for who delivers on each consumer's data needs.
• Key data domains meet defined AI-readiness standards (quality, completeness, lineage, governance, machine-readable semantics, ontology) and can be reused across use cases.
• Time-to-market to deliver use case ready (including AI-ready) datasets materially improves through repeatable curation patterns and clear accountability (e.g., moving from months to weeks for priority domains).
• Institutionalized retention and reuse of learnings from initiatives and small-scale tests so the organization compounds advantage instead of relearning the same lessons repeatedly.
• Alignment with Enterprise Data team on data strategy, roadmaps and execution.

As part of your role:

Data Management Leadership

• Set and communicate the Data Management vision, strategy, and priorities in partnership with Insights & Analytics; align roadmaps to business outcomes and the Enterprise data strategy.
• Own large-scale org transformation across Data Management-driving adoption of new ways of working with Product and Technology (operating model, prioritization/delivery mechanisms, cross-functional decisioning) to improve speed, transparency, and outcomes.
• Lead performance management through clear objectives and KPIs; continuously optimize capacity, squads, and delivery by removing impediments and making trade-offs where needed.
• Build team capability through intentional skill development across technical depth, AI literacy, use case valuation, business architecture, and executive-ready communication.
• Assess industry and client trends; drive enterprise alignment through collaboration, knowledge sharing, and breaking down silos.

Data Quality & Governance

• Continue to build and run a strong data quality practice, with clear processes, resourcing, and accountability for issue remediation.
• Establish and enforce data governance and stewardship standards so data is discoverable, well-documented, and reliably reusable across FI.
• Own strategic data product stewardship, including data ownership models, vendor management, and controls for regulatory/ethical use; partner across LRC, Data Governance, and BUs to manage sharing/reuse constraints.
• Ensure the practical advisor/client data foundation is captured and maintained by closing gaps in collection and reuse (platform-by-platform capture, cross-referencing across products, and disciplined retention of learnings).

AI Readiness

• Prioritize engineering work to build and harden priority data assets and accelerate adoption of enterprise platforms-focused on reusable, high-value data products.
• Define and execute AI-readiness standards (including minimum semantic standards) and the operating model to deliver AI-ready datasets at scale (governance, quality, ownership, stewardship).
• Drive pragmatic AI-ready roadmaps by prioritizing domains and use cases, establishing repeatable curation patterns for language-based systems, and increasing reuse of curated datasets vs. repeated one-off curation.

The Expertise and Skills You Bring

• Bachelor's Degree and 10-15+ years of experience in business intelligence, data strategy and data management. Financial services experience preferred.
• Advanced understanding of data management frameworks, tools, platforms and demonstrated history of owning solutions including developing data platforms and leading data governance, and experience developing Artificial Intelligence solutions preferred.
• Seasoned leader with a large organization experience with ability to navigate complex organizational structures and drive cross-functional collaboration.
• You are a committed leader who serves as an inspirational people leader, capable of setting strategic direction and encouraging others to deliver results and impact to achieve that strategy.
• You have senior level experience defining strategic roadmaps and leading the development of solutions and offerings aligned with and in support of the strategic direction of the business.
• You have strong communication, collaboration and influencing ability, with demonstrated experience working across L2 stakeholders and businesses with ability to align differing opinions.
• You take a data-focused approach to decision making, in day-to-day leadership, engaging with clients/ stakeholders to assist in articulating our road map and aligning that to product priorities and requirements.
