Data Operations Strategy - Analyst
Data Science & Analytics
Join our team where you can contribute to every trade, settlement, and investment decision the bank makes.
As a Data Operations Strategy Analyst within the Instrument Reference Data team, you will work at the intersection of data, operations, and business — translating complex data problems into practical, scalable solutions that improve how the bank operates. This is a role for someone who is comfortable with ambiguity. You will identify and frame problems as they emerge, prioritise what matters most, and build the analytical tools and dashboards that help teams make better decisions. You will partner closely with stakeholders across trading, operations, and reporting to diagnose data quality issues, understand their root causes, and deliver targeted fixes.

- Identify and frame incoming data and operational challenges, prioritise what matters most, and define practical strategies to address them.
- Design and build data solutions using visualisation tools, SQL, Python, and AI-enabled platforms to support operational metrics and analytics.
- Contribute to data quality initiatives end-to-end — from problem identification through to delivery and scaling — working closely with senior team members.
- Perform root-cause analysis to uncover process inefficiencies and implement targeted improvements that reduce recurring data issues.
- Facilitate stakeholder discussions to gather requirements, align on priorities, and track progress on data quality initiatives.
- Collaborate with data teams across regions to support day-to-day data activities and maintain quality standards.
- Ensure solutions are documented and aligned to internal controls, with an awareness of associated operational and reputational risks.

- Minimum 1 year of experience in a data, operations, quantitative, or analytical role within financial services.

- Strong communication skills — able to work across teams and seniority levels, extract requirements, and keep stakeholders aligned.
- Proficiency in SQL and Python for data analysis and automation.
- Hands-on experience with at least one visualisation tool (Power BI, Tableau, or Qlik) and at least one workflow or project management tool (Jira or Confluence)
