• Stakeholder Engagement: Act as the primary point of contact between Data Engineering teams and global stakeholders (business units, compliance, senior leadership). Translate business objectives into actionable technical deliverables and manage expectations through clear, consistent communication.
• Impediment Resolution: Proactively identify and remove blockers—technical, organizational, or stakeholder-related—to maintain delivery momentum and team focus.
• Team Coaching & Enablement: Mentor and empower Data Engineering teams to adopt Agile best practices, foster a culture of collaboration and innovation, and continuously enhance both technical and interpersonal skills.
• Performance Monitoring: Track and report on key delivery metrics (e.g., sprint velocity, product quality, stakeholder satisfaction) to drive process improvements and ensure alignment with organizational priorities.
• Risk & Compliance Oversight: Ensure all data products comply with international banking regulations and internal governance standards by working closely with risk and compliance teams.

Education:

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Data Science, Information Technology, Business Administration, or a related field.

Experience:

• Minimum of 5 years in Agile project management or Scrum Master roles, with at least 3 years focused on data-centric initiatives (e.g., data engineering, analytics, data warehousing).
• Proven experience delivering data solutions in the banking or financial services sector, with a strong understanding of international regulatory frameworks (e.g., GDPR, MiFID II).
• Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage senior stakeholders in complex, global, matrixed environments.
• Hands-on experience with Agile tools (e.g., Jira, Confluence, Azure DevOps) and data engineering workflows (e.g., ETL, data pipelines, cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Familiarity with data governance, data quality frameworks, and compliance standards in regulated industries.

Core Competencies

• Outstanding communication and facilitation skills to bridge technical and business domains.
• Strong problem-solving and conflict-resolution capabilities in high-stakes environments.
• Deep knowledge of Agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe) and their application to data engineering projects.
