• Ensuring that solutions are designed not just for automation and efficiency, but also to deliver greater analytical depth and decision-making support;
• Helping map out MFSA’s data tools, platforms, and practices to identify what’s working, what’s missing, and where ML/LLM technologies can help;
• Engaging with colleagues from Business Units, Programme Management, IT, and Data to align efforts and ensure successful implementation;
• Tracking developments in the use of AI/ML/LLMs within global and European financial regulatory frameworks;
• Collaborating with the Data Governance team to shape the Authority’s future data architecture and governance model, ensuring readiness for AI-driven innovation;
• Managing the day-to-day activities of the assigned team or project, providing guidance, reviewing outputs, and supporting staff development initiatives;
• Mentoring and training team members within the Data Management &amp; Business Intelligence function.
