Group Details

Tradeweb is seeking a Head of Data Risk Management to establish and lead the Firm’s data risk management capabilities, focusing on identifying, assessing, managing and communicating risks arising from the use, movement, transformation, and consumption of data across technology platforms and AI-driven use cases.

The Data Risk Management function focuses on how data behaves in practice—across applications, systems, platforms, analytics and workflows—and whether that usage introduces operational, regulatory or reputational risk.

Data Risk Management evaluates:

  • Data usage across trading, analytics and reporting systems 
  • Data flows across internal and external platforms
  • AI/ML model data dependencies and outputs 
  • Risks from data aggregation, transformation and replication

  • Partner with Technology to map, monitor and mitigate risks associated with data flows, including identifying high-risk transformation pain points, ensuring cross-system data integrity, consistency, and effective controls across platforms and data pipelines.
  • Establish safeguards around data propagation, duplication, and shadow data usage.  
  • Lead risk oversight for AI/ML and advanced analytics, including input integrity, output reliability, and model-data dependencies.  
  • Provide risk oversight of market-data and other critical data flows, include feed integrity and availability, data normalization, mapping, downstream distribution, and consumption by trading, analytics, and client-facing services.
  • Lead investigations of material data-related incidents and control failures, ensuring root cause analysis, assessing business impact, and driving sustainable remediation.
  • Partner with Technology Risk, Technology, Data, Cybersecurity, Operations Risk, Model Risk, Compliance, and business stakeholders to establish accountability, integrate data risk into existing governance processes, and drive risk-informed decisions. 
  • Build and mature the Data Risk capability, establishing assessment methodologies, ownership, and escalation processes, risk indicators, and management reporting that prioritize material exposure and measurable risk reductions.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Data Science, Risk Management, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
  • 12+ years of relevant experience in Data Engineering, Data Architecture, Operational Risk, Data Governance, Data Risk, Model Risk or Technology Risk in a Financial or FinTech environment. 
  • Strong exposure to data platforms, analytics, and electronic trading environments; AI/ML or model risk experience preferred.  
  • Extensive experience with data architectures, pipelines, AI/ML lifecycle, and trading/technology workflows.  
  • Strong ability to synthesize and articulate risks across systems, data flows, and business use cases, with the credibility and influence to challenge senior stakeholders and drive risk-informed decisions.  
  • Proven experience designing and implementing risk frameworks and controls.  
  • Strong knowledge of data governance, data standards and data control environments.  
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, challenge and drive outcomes across cross-functional teams.
  • Demonstrated leadership in complex organizations, including building functions, leading cross-functional initiatives and driving pragmatic risk-reduction solutions.
