• Develop and maintain a deep understanding of the data needs inherent in the business strategies of our global businesses: what data we have, what data we need, how we need to manage our data to maximize its value and reliability over time, and how we can (and cannot) use it to generate value and competitive advantage.
• Build and maintain an enterprise data map/catalog spanning internal, external, public, partner, and consent-based data - the standing reference for what data assets exist, where they live, and who owns them.
• Work with global business units to develop a cohesive enterprise data strategy from the federated strategies of our global businesses, coupled with enterprise-level objectives such as leveraging our cloud-native data fabric, expanding our differentiated data assets, and accelerating incorporation of AI/ML into our products.
• Help business units develop long-term strategic plays for data, particularly opportunities for re-use across business units and domains.
• Drive our global strategy for data exchanges, developing roadmaps for data exchanges and building out best practices for data exchange management.
• Own the enterprise data monetization strategy - identifying, prioritizing, and helping business units commercialize data assets - and define the metrics and ROI framework used to measure the value and effectiveness of our data assets over time.
• Lead evaluation of third-party data partnerships and licensing opportunities (independent of M&A), assessing fit, quality, and value of external data assets against our strategy.
• Engage in the evaluation and integration of data from enterprise M&A we pursue to strengthen our company and drive future growth.
• Drive ongoing planning and execution of the data strategy, including valuation of our data and governance oversight of global strategic data acquisitions and partnerships.
• Partner with Legal, Privacy, and Compliance to ensure our data strategy reflects responsible and ethical data use, including how we govern the data feeding our AI/ML models, so that our growth in data and AI keeps pace with our regulatory and reputational obligations.
• Build and lead data enablement programs - data literacy training, a data community of practice, and self-service access to data products - so business units can act on data themselves rather than depending on central teams for every request.
• Evangelize the enterprise data strategy and embed it in our culture - educating and helping all team members and stakeholders see how our data matters, how our businesses benefit from it, and how it helps consumers and businesses be their financial best.
• Partner with business units, global innovation, and technology to build shared capabilities to support business unit data functions.
• Report on data strategy progress and value delivered to the Global CDO and executive leadership through a regular scorecard or set of OKRs.
