• Recommend and help implement long-term fixes that reduce repeat issues.
• Coordinate with business and technology teams to solve data-related problems.
• Create, update, and improve clear documentation covering ETRM data standards by role.
• Prepare easy-to-use quick reference materials that support accurate and consistent data entry.
• Keep documentation aligned with current workflows and changing business needs.
• Plan and conduct focused training for Front Desk users and other relevant stakeholders.
• Explain how poor data quality can affect risk reporting, settlement accuracy, and financial accounting.
• Promote accountability and ownership of data across teams by acting as a dependable advisor.

Requirements

• Good understanding of the trade lifecycle and the effect of data quality on Risk, Settlement, Accounting, and reporting processes.
• Working knowledge of data governance methods, issue tracking, and escalation workflows.
• Strong analytical ability and capability to identify root causes effectively.
• Comfortable working with stakeholders across Front Desk and control functions.
