Finance Data Insights Release Management -Vice President

Job Description

Join the Finance Data Insights Release Management team and lead high-impact releases across Finance data products that support internal financial reporting and external regulatory reporting. You'll help us move fast while managing change in a controlled, audit-ready manner to meet business and regulatory timelines.

• Own end-to-end release and change execution across Finance data platforms, covering both planned and ad hoc change events; coordinate and execute testing and quality activities (including regression testing and anomaly detection) to validate changes align with requirements and expected outcomes.
• Drive high-velocity, well-controlled change by ensuring governance, approvals, documentation, and evidence are completed without slowing delivery.
• Identify, assess, and escape risks and issues with clear options, impacts, and mitigation plans; drive timely decision-making and support faster recovery when needed.
• Lead stakeholder management across the lifecycle—setting expectations, negotiating scope and timelines, and tailoring communications to varied audiences.
• Lead and develop a team, including coaching, prioritization and capacity planning, and performance feedback to deliver consistent release outcomes and foster a strong controls culture.
• Embed artificial-intelligence-assisted analytics and automation into release execution and quality controls to accelerate anomaly detection, regression testing, issue triage, and root-cause investigation; partner with data engineering and platform to improve data quality monitoring, observability, and proactive risk identification ahead of releases.
• Establish and track operational key performance indicators (for example, release lead time, change failure rate, defect leakage, rework, incident volumes, automation coverage); use insights to prioritize continuous improvement, standardize processes, reduce manual effort, improve cycle times, increase predictability, and produce executive-ready materials (updates, metrics, decision decks) while program-managing key modernization initiatives through disciplined planning, reporting, and delivery governance.

• Bachelor's degree and 5+ years of experience in release/change management, program/project management, or related delivery roles.
• Demonstrated experience managing release/change events with strong attention to risk, controls, and stakeholder impact.
• Strong data analytics skills, including ability to query and analyze data to support validation and issue investigation; advanced Excel (or equivalent analytical tooling).
• Experience coordinating testing and quality validation (for example, regression testing, reconciliations, data quality checks) and leading root-cause analysis.
• Proven stakeholder management skills (influencing, negotiation, expectation management) and strong data storytelling; strong written and verbal communication with ability to tailor messages by audience.
• Advanced skills in metrics, reporting, and presentation creation, including executive-level PowerPoint outputs.
• People leadership experience (coaching, prioritization/capacity planning, performance feedback) and experience using artificial-intelligence-assisted analytics tools and/or automation to accelerate delivery and improve performance (for example, anomaly detection, regression testing acceleration, smarter alerting/triage, faster investigation and root-cause analysis, improved data quality monitoring).

• Agile delivery mindset; experience using Jira and working knowledge of Jira Query Language (JQL).
• Experience in Financial Services and/or a Consulting background.
• Experience with modern data platforms and tooling, including Databricks.
• Familiarity with Data Mesh concepts and/or cloud strategy.
