The Role

As Senior Manager, Data Lead, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and maintaining well-governed Global Capital Markets (GCM) Pre-Trade data, with a strong focus on OTC derivatives. This data will enable informed decision-making and ensure regulatory compliance across the organization.

• Establish and promote strong data governance practices across stakeholders.
• Translate business needs into clear, actionable requirements for technology partners.
• Build prototype datasets and write queries/code to process semi-structured data (Avro). Experience with SQL, JSON, or XML is an asset—we’ll help you learn the rest.
• Engage with external trading venues to ensure timely fulfillment of the Bank’s data requirements, minimizing delays for trading desks.
• Identify optimal data sources for each use case, emphasizing data meaning and context.
• Drive implementation of data management practices—including metadata, data quality controls, and lineage—in collaboration with Data Management Services.
• Develop subject matter expertise in GCM Pre-Trade data, systems, and processes, becoming the go-to resource for insights and guidance.
• Contribute to improving data best practices and transforming new value-add activities into repeatable processes.
• Provide support to other data domains as needed.
