Program / Project Manager Client Reference Data
The Reference Data Program is one of Credit Suisse's key strategic initiatives. The program is sponsored by the IB CFO, and comprises the Client and Product (Instrument) sub-programs. The accuracy and timeliness of our reference data is a critical enabler to providing a service that our clients admire and in enabling us to respond to regulators effectively. The Reference Data Program aims to ensure this through establishing single master databases (Golden Copies) for quality-controlled client and product data, migrating all departments to use this data, and implementing clear data ownership and governance. The Global Regulatory Program is critical to the success of the overall Reference Data program and is key to ensuring the IB's regulatory compliance and alignment with our strategic Reference Data roadmap.
This role is the European Lead for the Global Regulatory Program. Program Managers are expected to take full end-to-end responsibility for all change management projects and initiatives. They may manage multiple projects and multiple teams simultaneously as delivery progresses towards the strategic target operating model. This role will manage projects that will ensure the IB's regulatory compliance and align to the future state client architecture.
