This role plays a critical part in supporting the Chief Data Officer (CDO) by driving strategic alignment, governance excellence, and operational efficiency across the organisation. You will ensure senior leaders are contributing to enterprise-wide initiatives, while delivering high-quality governance processes and insights that enable informed decision-making. Acting as a trusted advisor, you will provide analysis and recommendations on performance, oversee key governance forums, and ensure the CDO’s priorities are effectively represented at executive and board-level engagements.
You will lead business planning, financial tracking, and process maturity initiatives, while coordinating cross-functional programs and strategic deliverables. The role also serves as the central point for ad hoc executive requests, ensuring timely, accurate, and high-quality outputs for senior stakeholders. Working closely with leadership, finance, risk, and external partners, you will drive outcomes across strategic initiatives, enhance organisational capability, and support the delivery of measurable value from data and analytics.

The successful candidate will demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to develop high-quality presentations and materials for senior stakeholders.
