This is who we are

ING’s strategy is built around our purpose: Empowering people to stay ahead in life and in business. We want to make the difference for people and the planet by providing a superior customer experience and putting sustainability at the heart of what we do.

To make this happen, we need solid data governance. Data about customers, products, agreements, transactions, and operations. In ING’s Global CDO (Chief Data Officer) organization, data is our heart. We ensure the bank can use data for decisions, reporting, analytics, modelling and much more because the data is of good quality, is managed well throughout the bank and that uniform policies and processes around our data apply. CDO is a global organization, with people working in Amsterdam, Manilla, Bucharest and many more ING countries.

We are with around 200 data management professionals working on our ambition: making sure data is being treated in a pragmatic, compliant and ethical way! This vacancy is in the Center of Excellence Data Governance and will have a specific orientation towards the CDO Office in our Global Technology function.

This vacancy is posted for the newly formed Data Integrity and Traceability team, within the CoE Data Governance, supporting the Global Data Management promises of leveraging on a global data organisation, simplifying the structures around it, creating focus on the areas that matter the most to the Bank and creating business value by bringing the data organization closer to where it is needed. Global Data Management, together with Global Data Operations and Global Data Delivery & Platforms, represent the three data pillars of a newly established CDO Organisation.

The opportunity- Data Integrity Officer - Global technology

The Center of Excellence Data Governance is a dynamic team within Global Data Management, responsible for activities that support effective data governance at ING. It has a key role in supporting the ING global data management strategy. The main objective of the team is to design the capabilities required to ensure that data is trustworthy, by designing controls to assess the integrity of the data transfers, coming from authoritative sources, by establishing a Data Traceability approach, and that its quality is fully governed according to the minimum requirements established by the Data Management Policies.

As a Data Integrity Officer you will work in one of these three subject areas, contributing to the team backlog, for the design of the governance artefacts supporting these capabilities, and interfacing with other areas of the organization (such as Global Data Operations or Global CDO Offices) to ensure a smooth execution and oversight of the underlying processes. Fostering a culture of continuous improvement, the Data Governance Officer will also be a subject matter expert in these areas, thus contributing to driving these capabilities forward and throughout the entire organisation.

As data integrity officer, it is your responsibility to propagate ING’s data management strategy. You will further:

• Define and maintain Key Controls on Data Integrity, Data Traceability and Quality, including being involved in the Test of Design (ToD) recurring exercises
• Design and/or maintain the governance frameworks for Data Integrity and Data Quality, including design of principles, minimum requirements, roles and responsibilities
• Design techniques to maintain oversight of the adoption and adherence to the frameworks principles and minimum requirements
• Ensure appropriate actions are taken in case of non-adherence to the global governance standards
• Provide requirements to the platform teams for the development of tools enabling the governance principles and minimum requirements
• Design Key Risk Indicators for their inclusion in the Bank Risk Appetite Statement, in collaboration with the Non-Financial Risk department
• Provide subject matter expertise in responding to internal/external audits and awareness/training campaigns
• Support global data functions to embed the governance frameworks in the Bank, by providing guidance on the required minimum elements for compliancy with global standards and procedures
