About the role

In the role, the successful candidate will:

  • Own the Snowflake platform at enterprise level. Full accountability for platform strategy, architecture, performance, cost management, security and roadmap.

  • Lead data engineering delivery. Build and run high-quality, resilient pipelines serving Finance, Risk, Analytics and the Wealth Management front office — including regulatory reporting data flows aligned to BCBS 239 principles of accuracy, completeness and timeliness.
  • Deliver AI-ready data. Ensure the platform provides governed, well-documented, high-quality data products that AI and machine learning use cases can use safely.
  • Lead the Data Engineering team with responsibility for the engineering standards, tooling, reusable patterns, career paths and ways of working in order to deliver business outcomes.
  • Manage senior stakeholders. Act as the trusted platform partner with key stakeholders across the firm including Finance, Risk, Technology, Operations, Investment Management and Wealth Management, translating their data needs into platform commitments.
  • Vendor Management - own commercial and delivery relationships with Snowflake and the wider platform vendor and partner ecosystem, ensuring value for money and delivery accountability.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing
