· Assess static-data implications for new products, new entities, system changes and projects; participate in requirements gathering, testing and implementation.

· Work with Global Markets, Operations, Finance, Risk, Compliance, Technology and external data providers to resolve data dependencies and control gaps.

· Identify opportunities to automate data sourcing, validation, enrichment, publication, monitoring and exception handling.

· Maintain current procedures and reference guides; support training, cross-skilling, business continuity and knowledge transfer.
