Reference Data Analyst
Glasgow

As a Barclays Reference Data Analyst, you will be joining our fantastic Chief Data office at a time of rapid growth. You will be responsible for managing your own book of work, managing data and the governance around the data within your specific business area. You will also be accountable for quality assurance and working directly with technical and operations teams.

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality, and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.

Hybrid working

We are currently in the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment, which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role they are in. We’re flexible on how this works and it may continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month, or a quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in the office over a typical period than their role type requires. We also have a flexible working process where, subject to business needs, all colleagues globally can request work patterns to reflect their personal circumstances.

What will you be doing?

• Working closely with subject matter experts within the business, technology, and operations functions to ensure compliance to the data
• Working alongside other Chief Data Office teams to ensure consistency of approach and front-to-back lineage
• Supporting data governance and quality assurance activities
• Providing progress updates and reports on progress on data quality and control remediation activities
• Providing a data domain lens on all data management standards while working with the horizontal owners of each of the standards

• Thorough understanding of Data Management concepts and relevant experience in data governance and architecture
• Working knowledge of Project Lifecycle methods (e.g. Software Development Lifecycle, Agile) and of the principles and frameworks of successful project management
• Excellent MS-Office skills, including Excel, PowerPoint and Word, and Visio skills
• Thorough knowledge of Data Management concepts and relevant experience in data governance and architecture

Skills that will help you in the role:

• Experience in Risk, Finance and/or Treasury areas of corporate and/or investment banking
• Knowledge of data architecture
• Experience of working with distributed teams
