Join the Mizuho team as a Risk Domain Data Quality Analyst!
Mizuho – Enterprise Data Management Office
The Enterprise Data Management Office (EDMO) is a critical unit within the bank, ensuring that data is consistently managed as an enterprise asset. The office is responsible for overseeing the collection, governance, protection, and use of data across the organization, enabling the bank to meet strategic objectives, regulatory requirements, and operational efficiency. The EDMO office plays a crucial role in ensuring that data is accurate, accessible, secure, and utilized effectively to drive decision-making and risk management.
Mizuho’s data operating model is comprised of enterprise-wide groups and federated data domains to drive accountability and management of data. The federated operating model ensures minimal overlaps and reduced handoffs of data attributes across the data lifecycle.
Federated data domains are defined according to the various types of data originated and consumed by the enterprise (transactional, derived, and master/reference), and in such a manner that there are no unclaimed or overlapping data elements between two domains. Their definition and structure aim to support Mizuho’s business activities and operations. Data is clustered into federated domains with overall accountability and ownership for data quality, from origination to consumption.
Data Domains core responsibilities include definition and ownership of business use cases, serving as owners for and managing data within the domain (selected with view to exhaustively cover data within the enterprise with no overlaps), ensuring data satisfies the needs of data consumers, managing data quality assessments and remediation with source systems, expressing the data model and data definitions for the data elements within the domain, and participating in the enterprise data governance bodies.
Data Domains are supported by Data Stewards and Data Quality Analysts who sit in the Enterprise Data Management Office (EDMO) organization and act as the bridge between EDMO and the Data Domains. The Risk Data Domain will manage data initiatives related to Mizuho’s.
