• Oversee and challenge current‑ and future‑state data architectures and data models, ensuring designs are fit‑for‑purpose, scalable, and aligned to enterprise standards.

• Provide design oversight for technology initiatives impacting the subdomain, ensuring strong alignment between business processes, data generation, and data consumption.

• Drive and execute domain‑level data strategy and roadmap, balancing business enablement, regulatory requirements (including Governed Reporting such as NFRR), and long‑term data sustainability.

• Ensure adoption of and adherence to Enterprise Data Management policies and standards, including data quality, lineage, controls, and issue management.

• Act as the primary thought partner and escalation point for complex data‑related decisions, risks, and trade‑offs across business, technology, operations, risk, and compliance.

• Enable data to support a broad set of enterprise use cases, including regulatory reporting, analytics, and operational needs, with awareness of non‑functional requirements such as accuracy, traceability, and resiliency.
