If you are passionate about driving meaningful change and helping us build a more resilient future, we would love to meet you.

What We Are Looking For

We are searching for a true professional who understands that success in data management is as much about people and alignment as it is about systems. To hit the ground running, our ideal candidate brings:

You aren't just managing a program; you are orchestrating success across the COO domain and beyond.

Why Join Our Chapter?

In the Global Data Management team, we believe that we are stronger together. We value diverse perspectives and are deeply committed to your personal growth. By working here, you aren't just helping a bank—you are contributing to a global organization that focuses on societal challenges like the food and energy transitions, all while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
