Verantwoordelijke Data Governance @ Europabank
AM.S04461
Function
The Data Governance Lead is responsible for implementing the data roadmap (deadline: end of 2027) across the entire organization—a major transformation initiative involving technology, processes, and people.
He/she will initiate this implementation within Finance & Risk and gradually expand it to the rest of the organization, while also being responsible for raising awareness, providing the necessary training, and answering questions about data management.
You will implement the RDARR guidelines within the bank, in accordance with the principles and frameworks established at the Crelan group level. Given that this will represent a paradigm shift for the bank, it is also important that these principles can be effectively communicated to the various stakeholders.
As the implementation of the data roadmap in the areas of compliance and financial reporting takes shape, you will also begin helping to shape the future data vision and strategy for Europabank. Both in operations and in the commercial sphere, there are many opportunities where data and the creation of additional insights and intelligence can add value.

- Experience with the underlying BCBS 239 / RDARR regulations is a plus.
- Experience with data quality, data lineage, or issue tracking tools is a strong asset.

Offer

- A family-oriented and accessible bank where both colleagues and customers are treated as people, not just numbers, and where you, as a (new) employee, can quickly make an impact on (the implementation of) policy and results.
- A role with growth opportunities: Europabank’s entire data policy still needs to be further defined, which also means that this role will undoubtedly continue to evolve.
- An attractive salary and benefits: hospitalization insurance for the whole family, guaranteed income insurance, group insurance, meal vouchers, a smartphone with a subscription, a fixed expense allowance, a bicycle allowance, free public transportation, a flex budget, and a cafeteria plan.
