• Establish metadata standards, naming conventions, and strategies for domain/concept/business term/column hydration into Collibra.

• Participate in workshops with business and technical stakeholders to approve defined domain structures and semantics. 

• Partner with data owners, stewards, and custodians to ensure clear accountability within each domain. 

• Support governance councils and committees in prioritizing and approving domain structures.

• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements (GDPR, BCBS 239, CCAR, AML/KYC).

• Establish KPIs to measure domain adoption, quality, and stewardship maturity.

• Recommend improvements to enhance efficiency, automation, and integration of governance practices.

• Use AI to uplift the BNY BIM.

• Periodic review of BIM standards.
   

To be successful in this role, we’re seeking the following: 

• Degree or experience in Information Systems, Data Architecture, or related field.

• Knowledge of financial services data domains: Customer, Account, Product, Transaction, Risk, Compliance.
