Why Join
At OCBC Wholesale Banking, data is at the heart of how we make smarter decisions, deepen client relationships, and identify new growth opportunities. We are building a data-driven organization where analytics shapes strategy, commercial decisions, and client engagement.
As a Data Analyst, you will work on high-impact business problems across all product lines and wholesale banking segments.

You will work closely with senior stakeholders, relationship managers, and product teams to identify opportunities, validate ideas through data, and drive analytical use cases from concept to implementation.
The most successful candidates are intellectually curious, highly structured in their thinking, and motivated by solving real-world business problems. They combine consulting-style problem-solving with strong technical capabilities and continuously seek opportunities to automate, scale, and improve how decisions are made.
