In this role, you will establish and enforce governance standards, steward data quality and transparency between internal platforms and client data needs within data operations (ingestion, normalization, controls, and reporting). You will partner closely with investment, risk, technology, accounting, and compliance teams to ensure data is accurate, timely, and decision-ready—supporting portfolio construction, surveillance, valuations, and regulatory reporting in a high-performance, regulated environment.

• Build data pipelines and APIs between Snowflake (warehouse), Intex/quant libraries (analytics), Axiom/Clearwater (accounting), and Sigma/BI (reporting).

Controls, Compliance, and Reporting

• Implement control frameworks for data (pre-/post-ingestion checks, anomaly detection, duplicate prevention, referential integrity).
• Support insurer/statutory reporting (NAIC designations, SSAP 26R/43R data elements) and audit-readiness.
• Deliver executive-ready KPIs on data quality, operational SLAs, and portfolio impacts; lead remediation programs for systemic data issues.

Stakeholder Partnership

• Partner with PMs, research, and risk to deliver decision-ready datasets for portfolio construction, hedging, and scenario analysis.
• Work with technology to implement scalable ETL, lineage, catalog, and data-access controls; coordinate with compliance/legal on data usage (including PII when applicable).
• Interface with external trustees, servicers, rating agencies, and data vendors; manage vendor SLAs and change notifications (file formats, delivery schedules).

Leadership and Change Management

• Mentor team members, ensuring expertise in insurance data processes. Develop coverage and incident response playbooks tailored to insurance-related data issues.
• Manage cross-functional projects such as onboarding new insurance deals, migrating insurance platforms, and integrating new insurance data vendors. Oversee timelines, testing, cutover strategies, and post-implementation reviews specific to insurance requirements.
• Promote data literacy across investment and operations teams focused on insurance. Document standards and SOPs relevant to insurance portfolios and reporting.

• Demonstrated ownership of data pipelines between internal and external accounting platforms.

Technical Expertise

• SQL skills are necessary for insurance-related data operations tasks, such as manipulating datasets for regulatory reporting and compliance. Python nice to have.
• Proficiency in Snowflake is critical for managing insurance data warehousing, while familiarity with Sigma and Alation supports BI reporting and navigating data lineage for insurer participants.
• Expertise in tools like Intex ensures robust insurance portfolio analytics, while Bloomberg and ICE/Markit streamline insurance pricing and sensitivities.
• Knowledge of accounting systems (e.g., Axiom, Clearwater, Aladdin) and regulatory principles (GAAP/STAT for SSAP 26R/43R reporting) is beneficial for handling insurance portfolios and compliance.

Domain Knowledge

• Deep understanding of valuation, risk, and insurance-specific requirements, including pricing sources, model validation, sensitivity/scenario analysis, NAIC designations, SSAP 26R/43R, and GAAP/STAT reporting for insurance portfolios.
• Strong data governance and control expertise, encompassing pre-/post-ingestion checks, anomaly detection, referential integrity, compliance with data usage/PII requirements, and robust control frameworks to minimize data anomalies and ensure audit readiness.
