We are seeking a seasoned Senior Project Manager to lead cross‑border delivery of data management, data governance, and regulatory reporting initiatives, with a specific focus on BCBS 239 implementation and/or remediation within an ECB‑supervised banking context. The role will drive stakeholder alignment at group level, translate regulatory requirements into practical delivery outcomes, and ensure controlled, auditable execution across risk and finance data domains. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong stakeholder management, a structured approach to delivery, and an ability to clarify impacts on business processes, data architectures, reporting, and controls

Establish and run the programme structure (steerco, workstreams, RAID, change control) to deliver BCBS 239 outcomes across Risk, Finance, Data, and Reporting. Embed strong governance, ensuring senior management sponsorship and clear accountability for data aggregation and reporting standards. Plan and execute implementation or remediation against BCBS 239 principles (e.g., governance, data architecture & IT infrastructure, accuracy & integrity, completeness, timeliness, adaptability; reporting frequency, distribution, clarity, usefulness), mapping them to concrete business and data impacts. Coordinate readiness assessments, gap analysis, remediation planning, and evidence packs for internal audit, risk committees, and supervisory reviews. Engage senior stakeholders across group entities to align priorities, resolve policy/process impacts, and negotiate realistic timelines. Manage country-level nuances and ECB/JST* expectations, ensuring consistent group standards while allowing for local regulatory overlays. Lead workstreams on data ownership, lineage, quality controls, metadata, and critical data elements (CDEs), securing sign‑off on standards and data SLAs. Partner with Enterprise Data and Architecture teams to implement target‑state data models, dictionaries, lineage tooling, and DQ monitoring with defined thresholds and issue management. Oversee enhancements to risk and finance data aggregation for core reporting ensuring traceability from source to report. Coordinate UAT and parallel runs; ensure reconciliations, controls, and audit trails meet supervisory expectations. Create integrated delivery plans, critical paths, and resource models; manage third‑party vendors as needed. Own OpEx/CapEx tracking, forecast to completion, and benefits realisation. Maintain RAID logs, proactively mitigate risks, and escalate issues with data quality, architectural constraints, or local adoption. Drive effective change management-communications, training, and adoption-so that business users understand policy impacts and new ways of working.

Bachelor's degree in Business, Information Systems, Data/Analytics, Finance, or related discipline (Master's desirable). Recognised project/programme certifications (e.g., PRINCE2, PMP, MSP, Agile delivery credentials). (Preferred) Data governance/architecture certifications (e.g., DAMA, DCAM) or risk/regulatory qualifications
