Key responsibilities

• Validate the catalogue item by item against business reality; resolve gaps, duplicates and misclassifications in the inventory's starting-hypothesis domain tags.
• Classify each item by type and authority: domain-owned data product, shared capability, or operational application outside the analytical mesh.
• Corroborate or dispute the dependency and lineage findings using knowledge of how the business moves the data.
• Establish domain semantics and boundary definitions for the assigned product area, in language the business owners will sign.
• Apply the ownership rules and drive contested-item resolution to a decision, escalating to DACI only where genuinely irreducible.
• Identify the consuming domains behind every extract feed and downstream application in the assigned area and specify the contract obligations that follow.
• Facilitate validation workshops with named business-domain and IT owners; document findings to a standard that survives review.

Essential experience

• 10+ years in capital markets, of which at least 5 in a data-adjacent role: data ownership, business data analysis, regulatory reporting, or middle-office data management. Pure front-office trading experience without the data dimension will not work here.
• Deep product knowledge in at least one of the four coverage tracks above and working knowledge of a second.
• Ability to read a data dictionary, a lineage map and a stored-procedure findings matrix, and to dispute them on business grounds.
• Workshop facilitation with front-office, Reg Ops, Risk and Finance stakeholders in a large bank; the ability to get a decision out of a room that would rather defer.

Preferred / differentiating

• Hands-on exposure to Murex, Loan IQ, ACBS, Axiom SL or comparable capital-markets and regulatory-reporting platforms.
• Prior participation in a data mesh or data-product domain decomposition.
• Understanding of critical data element definition and attestation for regulatory reporting.
