• Team Empowerment: Coach and mentor Data Engineering teams to adopt Agile best practices, foster a culture of collaboration, and enhance technical and soft skills to improve delivery outcomes.
• Metrics and Reporting: Track and report key performance indicators (KPIs) such as sprint velocity, data product quality, and stakeholder satisfaction. Use insights to drive process optimization and ensure alignment with organizational goals.
• Risk and Compliance Management: Ensure data products adhere to international banking regulations and internal governance standards, collaborating with compliance and risk teams to mitigate potential issues.
