Key Responsibilities

Build Trusted Cross-Functional Relationships

Build strong working relationships across Reuters business areas, including Product, Technology, Commercial, Finance, and Strategy & Operations.

Act as the day-to-day D&A partner, helping stakeholders frame questions, clarify decisions, and connect to the right data, analytics, engineering, governance, or product expertise.

Help build a consistent Reuters-wide data culture through shared definitions, clearer priorities, and greater confidence in decision data.

Lead the Data Forum and Shape Shared Priorities

Lead and facilitate the Reuters Data Forum, creating a transparent route to review requests, priorities, capacity, and trade-offs.

Translate forum discussions into a prioritised backlog, agreed actions, named owners, timelines, dependencies, and success measures.

Maintain visibility of outcomes, delivery status, risks, blockers, and escalations so leaders can make informed trade-offs.

Translate Reuters Business Needs into Data Priorities

Work with stakeholders to understand the business questions behind requests, including performance, customer and content insight, product adoption, newsroom operations, commercial reporting, and AI enablement.

Turn business needs into prioritised requirements assessed against capacity, data availability, governance needs, and strategic value.

Communicate progress, trade-offs, risks, and decisions clearly to senior stakeholders and technical teams.

Deliver Agreed Data Priorities

Coordinate agreed Reuters D&A priorities from intake through prioritisation, delivery, adoption, and impact review.

Partner with analytics, engineering, data science, governance, product, and business teams to remove blockers, clarify requirements, and sustain momentum.

Track progress against success measures, stakeholder expectations, roadmap commitments, and expected business value.

Provide concise leadership updates on delivery, risks, decisions needed, and trade-offs.

Champion Data Governance & Operational Excellence

Promote Reuters data governance standards, shared KPI definitions, the data catalogue, D&A Hub, and reusable governed platforms.

Help stakeholders understand data quality, lineage, definitions, access, privacy, and responsible AI implications before data is used for decisions or automation.

Key Interfaces

Reuters business stakeholders across Commercial, Finance, Product, Technology.

D&A teams across analytics, engineering, data science, governance, platform, reporting, and delivery.

Reuters leadership forums where data priorities, trade-offs, risks, and delivery progress are reviewed.

Governance, privacy, legal, risk, and responsible AI stakeholders where data use, access, quality, or automation need oversight.

Experience managing a prioritised backlog, roadmap, or portfolio from intake through delivery, adoption, and impact review.

5+ years working with analytics, data products, reporting, KPIs, governance, data quality, access, privacy, or responsible AI, translating between business and technical audiences.

Working knowledge of analytics tools, dashboard interpretation, KPI reporting, and modern data platforms, with enough technical fluency to ask the right questions without requiring hands-on expertise.

5+ years managing competing priorities, delivery issues, progress tracking, risks, trade-offs, and senior stakeholder communications.

Experience operating in a fast-moving, matrixed environment with active management of priorities, dependencies, capacity, and timelines.

Preferred Qualifications

Collaborative and relationship-led, able to build trust across teams with different priorities and operating models.

Structured and outcome-focused, turning discussion into actions, ownership, timelines, and measurable delivery.

Comfortable challenging constructively, clarifying trade-offs, and helping stakeholders make prioritisation decisions.
