Senior Lead Data Management

About Us

At ANZ, we're shaping a world where people and communities thrive, driven by a common goal: to improve the financial wellbeing and sustainability of our millions of customers.

About the Role

As a Senior Lead - Data Management you will lead and execute the data management agenda across our Business & Private Bank division.

This influential leadership role is responsible for driving how data is governed, protected, managed and leveraged across the business. You will lead a cross-geographic team of data governance professionals while partnering with senior stakeholders across the business, risk and technology functions.

Combining strategic leadership with hands-on delivery, you will play a critical role in strengthening data governance practices, improving data quality outcomes, and ensuring compliance with regulatory and risk obligations. This role offers the opportunity to shape enterprise-wide data capabilities while supporting better outcomes for our customers and bankers.

Role Location: Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane
Role Type: Permanent, Full-time

What will your day look like?

In this role, you will:

• Lead the operating approach to data quality, metadata, lineage, records, privacy and data ethics across Business & Private Bank.
• Drive the identification, ownership and management of critical data elements and data assets.
• Drive material data issues from identification through to sustainable resolution, establishing root cause, clear business and technology ownership, pragmatic remediation pathways and evidence of effective outcomes.
• Embed enterprise data governance frameworks, standards and controls into divisional ways of working.
• Lead and develop a high-performing team, fostering capability growth, engagement and delivery excellence.
• Prepare and present data management insights, reporting and recommendations to governance committees and senior stakeholders.
• Partner with business, risk and technology teams to deliver data initiatives that improve customer, employee and business outcomes.
• Build strong data accountability across the division, helping business and technology owners understand and discharge their responsibilities for data rather than relying on central Data Management teams to manage issues on their behalf.

What will you bring?

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Significant experience leading data management and data governance programs within complex organisations.
• Deep knowledge of data quality, metadata, lineage, records management, privacy and governance frameworks.
