Reporting into the Head of Operational Strategy, P&C, the Data & Information Governance Lead plays a critical role in shaping how P&C Operations uses data, information and insight to drive informed decision-making, support strategic delivery and ensure alignment with enterprise data and governance standards. Operating at the intersection of information management, strategic communications and functional enablement, this role is central to ensuring SCOR is an organisation deeply and effectively informed by data.
A key part of the role is to objectively assess the maturity of our data and information governance environment – evaluating how well information is owned, structured and used across (and beyond) P&C Operations. Through this, the role identifies gaps, defines optimal frameworks for data and reporting governance and partners with teams across P&C to enable their execution of plans that will move the organisation toward a more mature, insight-driven operating model. By aligning closely with the Operational Frameworks and Risk Frameworks functions, the role ensures SCOR’s approach to performance, control and risk information is integrated, consistent and optimised to support both compliance and strategic outcomes.
This position plays a vital role in aligning strategy, insight and governance – helping to ensure P&C Operations is empowered by high-quality information and equipped to make better decisions, faster.
