The fact base will connect money movement data with client journeys, products, systems, platforms, payment rails, operational processes, and business and technology roadmaps.

This role will lead the collection, mapping, integration, and analysis of complex information from business lines and corporate functions to create a reliable enterprise view of the Bank’s money movement ecosystem.

The ideal candidate combines deep money movement domain expertise with advanced data analytics, data mapping, systems analysis, and team leadership capabilities. This individual must be able to operate independently, lead a team, establish credibility with senior stakeholders, and communicate complex findings in a clear and actionable manner. Following the initial development of the fact base, the role will oversee its ongoing operation and serve as the central point for enterprise money movement analysis and related ad hoc analytics requests.

• Synthesize large and complex datasets into meaningful insights, findings, visualizations, and actionable recommendations.
• Identify opportunities to optimize money movement across the enterprise, including areas for investment, modernization, rationalization, consolidation, integration, or process improvement.
• Develop data-driven recommendations that support enterprise strategy, product and platform roadmaps, investment decisions, and prioritization discussions.
• Present findings, tradeoffs, opportunities, and recommendations to senior business, product, technology, operations, and corporate function stakeholders.
• Work across Technology, Operations, Data, Risk, Finance, and other corporate functions to connect business requirements with systems, data, operational impacts, and investment considerations.
