To establish a controlled, standardised, and enterprise-scale data foundation across Finance & Treasury, Barclays is seeking an exceptional Programme Director to lead the strategy, design, governance, sourcing, and adoption of enterprise reference and master data capabilities. This is a critical leadership role at the forefront of a major transformation agenda, addressing a highly fragmented data landscape that currently creates significant operational, regulatory, reporting, and decision-making challenges across the organisation. The Programme Director will define and drive the end-to-end Finance & Treasury data strategy, partnering across business and technology functions to deliver a trusted, authoritative, and scalable data ecosystem. Working in close alignment with the EDP and Catalyst Platform Transformation initiatives, the successful candidate will lead enterprise-wide requirements definition, governance frameworks, and delivery execution across both existing and emerging programmes. This role will be instrumental in creating a clean, comprehensive, and strategically aligned Finance & Treasury data estate, ensuring referential integrity across interconnected data products and providing the foundation for accurate accounting, financial calculations, regulatory compliance, workflow optimisation, risk management, and management reporting. The successful candidate will influence senior stakeholders across the organisation, shape long-term data strategy, and deliver transformational outcomes that enhance Barclays’ operational resilience, control environment, and business performance.
