Why This Role Matters:

The hardest problem in data isn’t producing insight - it’s the last mile: the gap between an insight existing and the business acting on it. That gap closes only when someone inside the business owns the problem and the outcome, not just the analysis. This is that person for Gainbridge, Group 1001’s direct-to-consumer financial services business.

Gainbridge runs on decisions - where to acquire customers, how to price products, when to act on risk. This role exists to make sure data moves those decisions, not just informs them. You bring the business fluency, the relationships, and the judgment to translate data and AI capability into outcomes that show up in the business - while a dedicated data and engineering team handles the build.

And the accountability comes with authority. This is not an influence-only role: you hold the demand gate for the domain (nothing enters the build queue without your qualification), acceptance authority over what counts as done, and a formal escalation path when delivered insight isn’t acted on. You can stop work from starting, stop work from closing, and force a conversation when work isn’t used.
