## Description

Brand New Day is building a BIRD-aligned semantic layer that will become the foundation for finance, risk, balance sheet management and regulatory reporting. We are looking for a Senior Data Modelling Analyst who can bring structure to complexity. Someone who enjoys turning ambiguous requirements into clear definitions, consistent data models and implementation-ready mappings.

You will work at the intersection of business and engineering. One day you are aligning finance and risk stakeholders on a single definition. The next, you are helping engineers translate that definition into a scalable and traceable data model.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys ownership, thrives in situations where not everything is defined yet, and wants to grow towards a hands-on Data Architect position.

What will you do as a Senior Data Modelling Analyst?

Brand New Day is investing in the next generation of its data platform. As part of a broader transformation programme, we are implementing BCBS 239-compliant data management capabilities, modernising regulatory reporting and building a BIRD-aligned semantic layer as the foundation for consistent reporting and risk management.

As a Senior Data Modelling Analyst, you translate business input into a coherent, Industry-standard semantic data model (BIRD) and engineering-ready mapping specifications. You take ownership of the logical data model across Finance, Risk, BSM and regulatory reporting, ensuring consistent definitions, clear lineage and a scalable structure across domains.

You do more than just document requirements, you shape them. You work closely with business analysts, stakeholders and data engineers to clarify requirements, challenge inconsistencies, make trade-offs explicit and drive decisions needed to build a usable and trusted data foundation. You are comfortable working without complete upfront clarity and are able to shape the path forward. You have the ambition to grow into the role of hands-on Data Architect.

Success in this role means: helping establish a complete, maintainable semantic layer and mapping logic that engineers can implement without reinterpretation, and that stakeholders can trust for regulatory reporting , risk management and decision-making..

Your key activities and responsibilities in short:

 * Run focused workshops with Finance, Risk, BSM and Data stakeholders where you facilitate decision-making on clear company definitions, and priorities.
 * Translate business concepts into structured BIRD-aligned logical models, including entities, attributes, relationships, grain, definitions and business meaning.
 * Take ownership of the logical data model and ensure it remains consistent, maintainable and scalable across domains over time.
 * Produce engineering-ready mapping logic from source systems to the data warehouse and reporting outputs, including transformations, business rules, aggregations and edge cases.
 * Establish end-to-end data lineage, validation and reconciliation logic so data can be traced, explained, audited and trusted for regulatory use.
 * Document models, mappings, naming standards, metadata and decisions in a precise, version-controlled and reusable format, enabling engineers and future maintainers to extend the model consistently.
