- Lead and support semantic model mapping activity across complex financial services data environments

- Identify, analyse, and catalogue multiple data sources across the organisation to support the development of the semantic model
- Engage with business stakeholders to capture definitions, processes, terminology, and data usage
- Work with technology teams, architects, and data stakeholders to understand how data is sourced, transformed, and consumed across systems
- Translate business concepts into logical mappings, data relationships, and semantic structures
- Support the creation of consistent definitions, hierarchies, and relationships across datasets
- Ensure the semantic model reflects key financial markets concepts, products, workflows, and reporting needs
- Contribute to improved data consistency, traceability, and usability across the organisation
- Support wider data governance, metadata, and data lineage activities where relevant
