Key responsibilities include providing oversight across business-as-usual, transformation and AI-led activities, using a deep understanding of Analytics’ strategy, products, data and operating model to assess risk and control maturity, challenge issues and remediation, and identify emerging risks. You will oversee key business, technology, data and AI initiatives to ensure risks are clearly identified, managed and escalated. Through targeted reviews and deep-dives, you will deliver practical insight supporting investment decisions, product development and wider strategic outcomes, alongside clear reporting for senior leadership and governance forums.

The role involves close collaboration with Product, Engineering, Legal, Compliance, Privacy and specialist Risk teams to support AI governance and approvals, while shaping AI practices as capabilities evolve. You will also track regulatory and market developments to strengthen oversight and support broader D&A risk coverage.
