Data Lead

About The Role

TymeX is building one of the most advanced Data & AI platforms in digital banking inspired by Data Mesh Principles. A core pillar of our strategy is to rollout "Data-as-a-Product" operating model & culture change within Product Teams, while ensuring every data product across our domains is interoperable, trustworthy, and AI-ready.

We are looking for a Data Mesh Enablement Lead to champion TymeX's transition to a Data Mesh and Data‑as‑a‑Product operating model as part of launching the new Data & AI Platform. This role ensures product teams across the group can design, build, publish, and adopt high‑quality data products - and develop the skills, confidence, and mindset required for federated ownership, becoming self‑sufficient in Product Analytics & Data & AI driven product innovation.

This is a hands‑on, people‑focused role combining enablement, technical and process consulting, communication, and technical acumen to work with Data, Data Mesh Platform and tooling being enabled as part of this project. You will be the connector between platform, data, engineering, product teams, and end users in the local banks.
