You’ll join a highly visible team that enables analytics and machine learning innovation while safeguarding data as a strategic firm asset. In this role, you’ll influence senior stakeholders and partner closely with control and technology functions to set clear guardrails for data use. You’ll lead strategic initiatives that modernize governance processes and deliver measurable outcomes. If you enjoy solving ambiguous problems and driving change at scale, this role offers meaningful impact and strong growth opportunities. 

 

Job Summary 

As a Vice President, Data Governance – Data Use within the Chief Data Office for the Commercial & Investment Bank, you will lead data-use governance and risk management activities across global business lines. You will own end-to-end management of data-use cases, from intake and classification through review, decisioning, and ongoing monitoring.
