Project Overview

Deutsche Bank is running a high-profile data transformation within their Anti-Financial Crime (AFC) Technology function, focused on building an in-house data solution that will dramatically improve how critical AFC information is accessed, analysed, and used across the organisation.

This solution provides a centralised search capability, consolidating key information from KYC, Account, Product, and historic risk event data into a single, intuitive interface. It empowers investigators and compliance teams to work faster, make better-informed decisions, and strengthen the quality of financial crime investigations.

This is a high-visibility, strategic role within a large programme. The successful candidate will work closely with senior stakeholders, influence design and delivery, and have a real impact on the future of the bank's AFC data capabilities.

• Develop clear and actionable user stories and epics based on business needs, ensuring all requirements are understood by development teams.
• Perform data analysis to support solution design and identify potential issues, ensuring high-quality data integration across various systems.
• Work within Agile frameworks, actively participating in sprint planning, stand-ups, retrospectives, and other ceremonies to drive project delivery.
• Lead efforts to integrate, clean, and consolidate data from multiple sources to ensure accuracy and consistency across the platform.
• Collaborate with teams to define and implement visualisation capabilities to present key data insights and trends to senior stakeholders.
• Monitor project progress, manage risks, and provide clear updates to stakeholders on project status and next steps.

The skills you'll need

• Business Analysis or Product Management experience in complex data-driven projects, ideally within financial services or compliance-focused environments.
• Strong understanding of Agile methodologies, including experience writing user stories, participating in sprints, and collaborating with development teams.
• Proficiency in SQL and experience with data analysis, data validation, and working with large datasets.
• Knowledge of data models, APIs, and multi-tier system design.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to work with stakeholders across business, compliance, and technology teams.
