At PGGM, we strive for an optimal balance between financial return, risk, and sustainability. We call this approach 3D investing. By treating these three dimensions—return, risk, and sustainability—equally, we build a future-proof portfolio that not only creates value for our participants but also contributes to a livable world.

Do you have extensive experience with operational data processes within asset management and strong skills in safeguarding data quality? Then this role is for you.

Validating operational data flows: You monitor and check the accuracy and completeness of incoming data feeds (such as prices, FX rates, curves, instrument details) on a daily basis, in systems including SimCorp Dimension, Goldensource, and other applications.

Collaborating with external data providers: You maintain contact with parties such as Bloomberg, ICE, and other market data providers. You ensure timely escalation in case of data issues and monitor structural problems.

Supporting users: You respond to questions from the business about data quality and availability, and you contribute ideas for solutions to data-related issues.

Data governance and quality: You work within the framework of our data governance structure and contribute to the continuous improvement of data quality and monitoring, including in Collibra.

Active role in incident handling and improvement initiatives: You analyze data issues and initiate improvements to processes and systems.

You are a structured, critical, and solution-oriented professional with experience in data management within the financial sector. You enjoy the dynamics of operational processes and are able to maintain oversight in a complex environment.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s level of education and thinking, with at least 5 years of relevant work experience in asset management or financial services.
• Demonstrable experience with operational data and market data processes.
• Solid knowledge of systems such as SimCorp Dimension.
• Experience working with external data vendors and managing data flows.
• Strong communication skills and a proactive work attitude.
• Attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture.
• Thorough knowledge of static data related to investment instruments.

Preferred qualifications:

• Familiarity with Agile, Scrum, and/or DevOps methodologies.
• Experience with Collibra or comparable data governance tools.
• Experience with Enterprise Data Management systems such as GoldenSource, Markit EDM, or SCD Gain.
• A motivation letter in which you explain your interest in - and suitability for the role.
