Bristol, United Kingdom RPC Full time

Description

ROLE OVERVIEW

This is a new role, reporting to the Director of IT, which has responsibility for devising and implementing a new data strategy for the firm.

Initially this will be a standalone role which will lead a virtual data team across a number of functional areas, and in time, it's likely that the function will grow and a team will be recruited to directly support this area.

We are in the midst of a major technology transformation programme which began in 2020, and we have a number of large projects coming up in the next two years. In addition to supporting that work, we're looking for someone who can devise a data strategy which is aligned to the firm's overall strategy, and can help support the strategic priorities within it. Finally, this role will play a key player in how we approach and use generative AI, which is evolving as the technology does.

To support that, we need to review the accuracy and quality of the data we hold across our estate, the integrations between our systems, the tools we use to interrogate that data, and what we need to put in place to enable our vision. That is, to find opportunities to leverage our data, to help us make better decisions internally, and ultimately deliver better services to our clients.

Work with system owners to ensure we're getting the best from our systems, and that they support the broader objectives around data. Support the growth and development of our generative AI strategy, both by helping to identify and develop opportunities in this space, and by ensuring the quality and governance of our data can support it.
