  • Design coherent data models: Lead the creation and maintenance of enterprise data models and data domain structures supporting operational, analytical, and regulatory needs.
  • Align data architecture across the enterprise: Collaborate closely with Enterprise Architects, system owners, and Group Tech to ensure data architecture principles are embedded in system roadmaps and transformation initiatives.
  • Strengthen data governance and compliance: Partner with Data Management, Legal, and Cyber Security to ensure that data standards, quality rules, privacy requirements, and regulatory obligations are consistently applied across all systems.
  • Enable business insight through connected data: Ensure that critical data entities are consistently represented across systems to enable group-wide reporting, analytics, and operational alignment.
  • Champion enterprise-wide data thinking: Promote standardisation, reuse, and cross-market alignment in how data is captured, structured, and managed across the organisation.
