Senior Manager, Data Controls Uplift & Governance

Location: Sydney CBD Area

Time Type: Full time

Job Description

• Shape data-control uplift across critical Economic Crime platforms
• Influence major change across technology, data, product and risk
• Provide trusted technical leadership from design to production

See Yourself in the Team

The Economic Crime Data Office provides the data leadership, governance and delivery capability that underpins CommBanks Economic Crime agenda. Partnering across a large and complex environment of crews, squads and stakeholder groups, the team ensures critical data is trusted, governed and fit for purpose, enabling the bank to meet regulatory obligations while strengthening the organisations ability to detect, prevent and disrupt criminal activity.

With responsibility spanning hundreds of practitioners and numerous delivery teams, the Economic Crime Data Office operates at the intersection of data, risk, technology and transformation. The team shapes enterprise data strategy, influences major uplift initiatives, and provides the expertise, governance and assurance required to strengthen controls, improve data quality and build more resilient, intelligence-led capabilities across the organisation.

Your Impact & Contribution

As Senior Manager, Data Controls, youll sit at the centre of this work, partnering with delivery teams to translate mandatory data-control requirements into practical, actionable expectations while maintaining clear accountability between control governance and delivery.

Youll act as the primary point of contact for delivery crews as they design, build and implement new or changed systems. Youll provide technical guidance on applicable data-control requirements, review Data Impact Assessments, challenge gaps, and ensure material control requirements are appropriately reflected within change governance and CMRS processes. Youll maintain a consolidated view of progress across multiple crews and squads, identifying where uplift activity may be off track and constructively challenging whether reported status is supported by observable evidence.

Importantly, this role provides governance, assurance and technical advisory leadership rather than direct delivery ownership. Your expertise will help teams understand what needs to be achieved from a strategic perspective, while delivery crews remain accountable for determining the technical solution, implementing controls and resolving identified gaps. Youll be successful when delivery teams have a clear and consistent point of contact, understand the data-control requirements that apply to their change, and can translate identified gaps into actionable uplift activity.

Your work will help ensure:

• Relevant changes complete Data Impact Assessments early in the lifecycle
• Material data-control requirements are identified before implementation
• Data Impact Assessment outcomes are consistently reflected in change governance
• Progress reporting is clear, consolidated and evidence-based
• Material gaps and risks are surfaced early and escalated appropriately
• Control weaknesses are identified and addressed before systems move into production
• Delivery accountability remains with the crews while governance remains appropriately independent
• There is a clear transition from build-stage control uplift into ongoing production assurance
