Legal & General is one of Europe’s largest asset managers, providing clients and partners with complex, responsible investment solutions, across public and private markets. As a global investor, we are present where our clients most need us – from Hong Kong and Singapore, to Chicago and major European financial hubs.
Created by combining our investment management (LGIM) and asset origination (LGC) capabilities, our Asset Management division works with our Institutional Retirement and Retail divisions to benefit our clients and customers – which include individual savers, pension scheme members and global institutions – and deliver enhanced shareholder returns.
Joining us means becoming part of a market-leading team, with capabilities across the full spectrum of asset classes, with an enduring commitment to responsible investment and creating long-term, sustainable value for our clients and partners.
We’re recruiting for a Data Risk & Governance Analyst to join our team. In this role, you will support the data risk and governance team in managing all aspects of data risks and governance. Your primary focus will be on establishing and strengthening the data risk framework to enable Asset Management to mature, demonstrate data capabilities, and mitigate data risks effectively.
What you'll be doing:
- Implementing a comprehensive data management framework covering data ownership, data sources, data quality, data usage, and records management
- Actively identifying data risks where data does not conform to our data policy, while enhancing data governance practices
- Engaging in all business-as-usual activities, ensuring a hands-on approach to managing data risks and governance
- Working closely with Audit, Risk, Business teams, IT, and change programs to support data roles in understanding their responsibilities and implementing data requirements using standardized approaches
- Deploying data governance standards and provide oversight on existing data governance activities.
- Embedding data target operating model across Asset Management
- Working closely with 2nd line to ensure RCSA processes are embedded for Data Risk
- Ensuring 1st line data controls are identified, measured, monitored and managed and reported as part of the LGIM Risk and Control Self-Assessment framework
Who we're looking for:
- Must have detailed understanding of data governance and data risk and controls
- Experience of writing data governance related standards, guidance and processes
- Excellent understanding and practical experience of implementing data governance across multiple stakeholders and roles. Specific experience of data ownership, identification of approved data sources and critical data elements
- Must have experience of working in a data governance business as usual (BAU) environment
- Collaborative approach to working with data operational teams, developers, architects and subject matter experts alike, to establish the facts, and ensure good communication of requirements
- Excellent communication skills to articulate data and the associated benefits to a non-expert audience
- Ability to adapt and move quickly, against a deadline/changing deadline while maintaining quality
- Skills in data analysis (understanding macros, scripts, queries to profile data and determine its data quality)
- Knowledge of data privacy concepts and implications for Data Governance
Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:
- The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
- Generous pension contribution
- Life assurance
- Private medical insurance (permanent employees only)
- At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
- Competitive family leave
- Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
- There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
- In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart
At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all.
If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.
We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
Great news! We will let you know when a new job like this has been added!
