Your job

As a Risk Data Steward you support one or more Data Owners and/or Data Users with data management expertise. You enable them and other key stakeholders to ensure data is continually fit-or-purpose and turned into value. Although you will contribute to the further development and roll-out of multiple data management capabilities, your specific focus will be on data sourcing. This to ensure that Risk Management stakeholders obtain the data required to fulfil their data needs, in an efficient and compliant way. Strategic sourcing and structural data availability is the foundation of proper data management. It contributes to implementation of ABN AMRO’s data strategy by providing rapid access to data, which in turn enables users to deliver value from that data, for example for models and reports.
The key activities you will be performing:
•    Contribute to the vision on data sourcing and define milestones in alignment with business stakeholder expectations; set and monitor these milestones.
•    Act as a central point of contact and intermediate layer between Risk Management and IT, Finance and Data Management & Architecture teams for all Data Sourcing related topics.
•    Support and guidance to transition from current (tactical) data sourcing and sharing practices to the defined structural/strategic processes. Organise and facilitate requirement setting to achieve this.
•    Oversee and support the different stakeholders in the execution of the Data Sourcing exercise: you help to resolve conflicts and issues, align on planning and determine priority setting.
•    Link structural improvements on data sourcing to other data management capabilities, such as data modelling, data lineage and data quality.  
•    Contribute to working groups on Data Management topics relating to Data Sourcing.
•    Raise awareness of Risk data users on Data Sourcing importance and best practices and on the role of Data Sourcing in the Data Management framework.
•    Report on progress to direct stakeholders and higher management, with the freedom to shape this how you think this works best.
We are searching for someone who can effectively tackle the challenge of managing Risk Data Sourcing in a sustainable way that aligns with the bank’s future proof strategy!
