We are looking to hire a Director, Governance & Enablement Lead, to join our Risk & Compliance Analytics & Reporting team. This position is based in Pune/Chennai, with an expectation of 4-5 days per week in the office. The role will report to the Global Head of Risk and Compliance Analytics & Reporting.

In this role, you’ll make an impact in the following ways: 

• Governance operating model: Define and maintain RCAR's governance operating model (policies, standards, roles, RACI, decision rights, councils, forums) aligned with ERM R&C frameworks and regulatory expectations.
• Controls and assurance: Establish and monitor controls for lineage, quality, privacy, model/data usage, reporting accuracy, change management, and certification; maintain audit ready artifacts and coordinate reviews with Internal Audit/Compliance.
• Data standards and certification: Set enterprise grade standards for risk data definitions, taxonomies, golden sources, reconciliation, traceability, and metadata; drive "single, trusted source" outcomes via standardized templates and certification workflows.
• Enablement and adoption: Build and scale enablement programs (playbooks, training, communications, communities of practice) to accelerate adoption across regions and domains; streamline intake, readiness, and certification pathways, including exceptions/waivers.
• Embedded governance in pipelines: Partner with Data Engineering and Reporting teams to embed quality checks, SLAs, resiliency, and decision logs into pipelines and products; operationalize governance for data/measures (ownership, naming, change control, approvals, deprecation, semantic versioning).
• Councils and change control: Run governance councils and change advisory boards; manage exception/waiver processes and ensure transparent, timely decisioning.
• Cross functional alignment: Serve as connective tissue across ERM R&C governance, Finance, Risk Engineering, AI Hub, and RCAR horizontal and domain A&R teams; translate policy and regulatory needs into implementable technical standards and processes.
• Continuous improvement: Benchmark against industry practices; evolve standards for cloud, AI/ML, model risk, and modern data platforms; pilot and scale self service tooling, automated controls, and federated stewardship models.
• Measurement and reporting: Define KPIs/OKRs and dashboards to track governance effectiveness (data quality, timeliness, adoption, issue remediation, certification throughput) and drive ongoing improvement.
• Drive measurable improvement in certified data/reporting quality, timeliness, and traceability; reduced issues and rework.
• Increased adoption of standardized reporting, metadata, and certification workflows; improved audit readiness.
• Streamlined intake, certification, release, and change processes with clear decision rights and cycle time improvements.
• Demonstrable embedding of controls (quality checks, SLAs, resiliency) in pipelines and products across regions and domains.

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

• 10–12 years in risk, compliance, data governance, or risk reporting within financial services or similarly regulated industries, with proven leadership scaling governance and enablement for large data/analytics platforms. 
• Deep familiarity with risk data/reporting standards (e.g., lineage, data quality, stewardship, BCBS 239 concepts) and control frameworks. 
• Strong understanding of enterprise data platforms, modern data engineering practices, metadata management, reporting tooling, and cloud data platform controls. 
• Hands-on experience with governance tools (catalogs, lineage, quality monitoring) and risk reporting solutions; exposure to model risk management and AI/ML governance. 
• Track record driving adoption through training, change management, and clear operating procedures; analytical mindset with ability to define KPIs/OKRs and measure outcomes. 
• Experience leading audit/compliance reviews and regulatory interactions tied to data and reporting; maintains audit-ready documentation and evidence. 
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills—able to translate technical standards into business outcomes and influence senior leaders in a global, matrixed environment.
• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in a relevant discipline (Risk, Data/Analytics, Information Systems, Finance) preferred.
