About the role
As Strategy and Operations Officer, you will be the operating rhythm and execution discipline behind the Wholesale Banking (WB) Chief Data Office (CDO) organization. This role creates the structure that enables leadership to steer priorities, make informed decisions, and maintain transparency across strategy, finance, governance, risk, and communications.
You will provide the organizational clarity and coordination needed to keep a complex data function aligned, controlled, and moving with purpose, ensuring that strategic ambitions are translated into disciplined execution across the WB CDO landscape.
The team
The Operational, Risk & Compliance Management Unit serves as the control, assurance, and risk discipline backbone of the WB CDO organization. It is accountable for embedding data governance, regulatory compliance, and control frameworks into the day-to-day operations of Wholesale Banking.

It enables regulator-ready, controlled, and traceable data management practices while ensuring compliance with critical frameworks such as BCBS239, GPDP, GRRD, and broader data risk and control requirements.
