Direct Responsibilities
Issue intake & registration
• Log every incident in the IMR tool (JIRA), assign a severity rating, and ensure appropriate metadata (domain, regulator impact, etc.).

• Perform quantitative checks, trend analysis, and data-lineage reviews.
• Document findings in the “Issue Analysis” template.
Stakeholder liaison
• Schedule and lead triage calls (30-60 min) with business owners, data stewards, and risk analysts.
• Translate technical findings into business language and keep all parties updated on status.
Remediation design
• Work with IT development, data engineering, and process owners to create one of three solutions:
• Systemic fix – code/ETL change.

• Operational control – monitoring rule, data-quality checkpoint.
Implementation oversight
• Follow the build-test-deploy cycle, validate that the fix resolves the issue, and capture evidence (screenshots, test results).

• Use the RAG-matrix escalation process when an issue stalls; provide audit-ready artefacts for internal/external reviews.
Contributing Responsibilities
• Have a continuous improvement mindset and look for removing waste and improving the process/task.
