VP, Solution Delivery – Common Data Platform

Company

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco

Data is at the center of Federal Reserve System operations; we are working to modernize how the FRS manages and uses data. The Common Data Platform (CDP) is an exciting new, Multi-District FRS Program effort led by San Francisco to create a cloud based, end-to-end data management platform. Initially developed in partnership with the Supervision and Regulation business, this system is positioned to become the standard FRS data management platform. The CDP is being developed to move data and data management applications to the cloud to reduce data costs, improve users’ experiences in accessing, generating, analyzing, reporting, and deriving value from data to drive business goals.

The CDP program team is comprised of members from System IT organized into delivery teams all working in sync using the Scaled Agile Framework for Enterprises (SAFe) to provide incremental and iterative business value. This position is a unique and exciting opportunity to be part of a team on the leading edge of data management and consumption. You’ll join a world-class team in a dynamic environment that will create a lasting impact on the entire Federal Reserve System.

We are seeking motivated and passionate team members who are willing to step boldly into this full-time position. While you will remain an employee of your home District, you will become a member of the matrixed CDP program. If you are up for this exciting opportunity, we want to hear from you!

We empower our people to balance their life and work responsibilities. That’s why we offer a flexible hybrid work model that allows you to collaborate with office colleagues on some days, and work from home on others.
