Data Transformation Director - Bank Acquisition - Credit Risk

Alexander Mann Solutions • ATS • London, City, United Kingdom • 12h ago

Tesco Bank prides itself on their range of simple and convenient retail banking and insurance products designed specifically to meet the needs of Tesco customers. They believe that every little help makes a big difference, and by putting the customer first and rewarding their loyalty, they are offering something they believe every bank should.

AMS is a global workforce solutions partner committed to creating inclusive, dynamic, and future-ready workplaces. We help organisations adapt, grow, and thrive in an ever-evolving world by building, shaping, and optimising diverse talent strategies.

We partner with Tesco Bank to support their contingent recruitment processes. Acting as an extension of their recruitment teams, we connect them with skilled interim and temporary professionals, fostering workplaces where everyone can contribute and succeed.

On behalf of Tesco Bank, AMS are now looking for a Data Transformation Director for an initial contract length of 12-months on a 2 year programme of work. The role will involve UK-Wide travel to London, Edinburgh and potentially elsewhere; there is no bank policy on office attendance so most work is expected to be home working.

Purpose of the role:

This is a high-impact leadership opportunity at the heart of a complex data transformation programme. As part of the integration between two major UK banking institutions, the organisation is aligning enterprise-wide data capabilities to support a unified, scalable approach to data management and regulatory reporting.

The role will lead one of the most technically and operationally challenging areas of the programme: overseeing the transformation of credit risk data, capital models, and provisioning processes within a regulated financial services environment. With direct influence over programme direction and engagement with senior stakeholders, the successful candidate will drive delivery across a wide-ranging risk and change portfolio.

This is a rare opportunity to shape a mission-critical workstream within a flagship programme-collaborating with experienced SMEs already in place across areas such as financial crime, fraud, and IRB-while bringing focused leadership and expertise to the credit risk transformation space and helping set the strategic and delivery tone for wider activity.

What you'll do:

Lead a major data transformation workstream as part of a high-profile bank integration programme.
Oversee the alignment and delivery of credit risk data, capital modelling, and provisioning activities in a regulated environment.
Work closely with programme leadership and executive stakeholders to shape delivery strategy, timelines, and risk posture.
Collaborate with SMEs across financial crime, fraud, IRB, and other risk domains to ensure seamless coordination and execution.
Provide structure, clarity, and leadership across complex change and data initiatives with a focus on credit risk.

The skills you'll need:

Proven track record delivering large-scale transformation programmes within financial services, ideally within a regulated credit risk environment.
Deep understanding of credit risk, capital impairment, provisioning, and associated modelling practices.
Experience delivering regulatory-driven change (eg, IRB, Basel frameworks, capital adequacy programmes).
Strong grasp of enterprise data transformation, particularly within complex organisational or integration contexts.
Adept at engaging senior leadership and navigating matrixed stakeholder environments.
Familiarity with risk disciplines including financial crime, fraud, and modelling-able to lead delivery in partnership with existing SMEs.
Comfortable working across both business and technical domains, bringing structure to ambiguity and pace to execution.

Why Tesco Bank?

At Tesco Bank everyone is welcome, we value our people and diverse teams and believe the variety of backgrounds and experiences make us stronger in achieving our goals. It's important to us that we make sure you're supported by your team and colleague networks every day, celebrating when it matters and helping you to be the best version of yourself. The people make Tesco Bank, and we take pride in what we achieve together.
