• Analyze Wealth Lending Servicing data to deliver actionable insights supporting business, operations, risk, and regulatory reporting needs.
• Own definition, calculation, and validation of key Lending metrics and KPIs to ensure consistency across platforms and reports.
• Design and maintain logical and physical data models, translating business and regulatory requirements into clear data and analytical specifications.
• Partner with application, platform, and integration teams to deliver scalable, resilient data pipelines and analytical solutions.
• Ensure data quality, integrity, reconciliation, and exception handling across end‑to‑end Lending Servicing data flows.
• Maintain end‑to‑end data lineage and traceability, ensuring compliance with enterprise architecture and regulatory standards.
• Act as a bridge between business, product, operations, risk, compliance, and technology teams to align data solutions with business intent.
• Contribute as a senior data lead in Agile delivery teams, defining data stories, validating outputs, and driving timely execution.
• Proactively identify data issues and improvement opportunities, driving remediation to enhance platform reliability and data transparency.
• Influence stakeholders through clear, data‑driven communication and well‑reasoned analytical recommendations.

Qualifications

• Solid experience in data modeling (conceptual, logical, and physical), including definition of metrics, hierarchies, and business rules to support analytics and reporting.
• Experience designing and delivering end‑to‑end data solutions across multiple systems, including source‑to‑target mappings, data pipelines, and downstream consumption (reports, dashboards, extracts).
• Strong understanding of data governance, data quality controls, lineage, reconciliation, and regulatory reporting requirements in a banking environment.
• Familiarity with distributed data platforms, databases, and integration patterns; experience with Java-based systems is a plus but not mandatory.
• Ability to translate business, risk, and regulatory requirements into clear analytical specifications, data structures, and actionable insights.
