The role provides VP-level oversight over independent validation and assessment of Critical Data Elements, regulatory reports and management reports, including validation planning, evidence review, reconciliation assessment, control evidence challenge, findings governance, stakeholder coordination and escalation.

The role is a VP-level delivery leadership role within Data Validation & Assessment. It sits below the SVP & Head of Data Validation & Assessment and above AVP, Data Validation & Assessment. The role manages delivery of independent validation activities across the initial CDE-focused mandate and the end-state regulatory and management report validation mandate.
