• Partner closely with technology, project teams, business stakeholders, and governance partners to drive data quality issues from identification through remediation, coordinating impact assessment, prioritization, escalation, post-remediation validation, and transparent reporting.
• Produce clear, defensible, and executive-ready reporting that summarizes data quality scope, methodology, results, issue status, residual risks, and recommended next steps, helping stakeholders understand data quality impacts and make informed remediation and risk management decisions.
• Contribute to the overall success of the Global Fraud Management function, ensuring specific individual goals, plans and initiatives are delivered in support of the team’s business strategies and objectives.  Ensure all activities conducted are in compliance with governing regulation and internal policies, procedures, and standards.
