About the role

BBVA is leading a deep transformation toward an organization where data, artificial intelligence, and automation are key capabilities for redefining customer relationships, improving decision-making, and evolving operating models.

In this context, the Data for AI function in the Corporate & Investment Banking (CIB) area has the mission of transforming business data and knowledge into reliable, contextualized, and reusable assets that enable the development, scaling, and operation of artificial intelligence solutions with real impact.

The Data Expert will be responsible for building the bridge between the CIB business, data, and technology. Their role will not be limited to ensuring data availability and quality; they will also need to provide the semantics, context, and knowledge required for AI models, assistants, and agents to correctly understand the CIB customer reality and generate relevant responses, recommendations, and actions.

This context includes, among other areas, the comprehensive view of the company and its economic groups, their financing, liquidity, collections, and payments needs, transactional and behavioral signals, risk, profitability, and relationship information, interactions between relationship managers and clients, as well as corporate documentation and other unstructured knowledge sources.

The role will contribute to converting this information into reusable data and knowledge assets for use cases such as visit preparation, generation of insights and commercial proposals, recommendation of next best actions, analysis of corporate documentation, process automation, and the development of specialized copilots and agents.

Additionally, the Data Expert will actively participate in the evolution and industrialization of these solutions, collaborating with business, data, technology, risk, and compliance teams to ensure that AI initiatives are accurate, scalable, responsible, and integrated into the actual processes of the CIB business.

The position will be developed in a highly innovative and transformative environment, participating in strategic initiatives where agile prototyping, experimentation, continuous learning, and the generation of sustainable impact will be fundamental elements.

What you'll do

  1. Construction of data and knowledge assets for AI
  • Identify, structure, and maintain the data and knowledge assets required to enable artificial intelligence solutions in the CIB business.

  • Build and evolve the semantic layer of data, connecting sources, business definitions, and functional context.

  • Identify data availability and define functional requirements for incorporating new sources, transformations, and enrichments that enable new AI use cases.

  • Ensure data quality, consistency, traceability, and functional governance through standards, controls, SLAs, and reuse criteria.

  • Structure CIB business knowledge—customers, economic groups, products, financing, liquidity, collections and payments, risks, profitability, commercial interactions, and corporate documentation—to turn it into context reusable by AI solutions.

  • Translate business knowledge into semantic models, taxonomies, and other reusable assets for AI.

  1. Driving transformational projects based on data and AI
  • Participate in and lead strategic initiatives that integrate data, artificial intelligence, and automation to transform processes and generate value in the CIB business.

  • Identify opportunities where better structuring of data and business knowledge enables the development of new AI use cases or the improvement of existing ones.

  • Collaborate on the design, implementation, and evolution of AI solutions, ensuring that data, semantics, and business context translate into tangible results for customers and relationship managers.

  • Define hypotheses, validate new capabilities through prototypes, and promote cycles of experimentation and continuous learning.

  • Contribute to the definition and prioritization of the Data for AI initiative roadmap in coordination with Product Owners, business, technology, and data teams.

  • Align business, technology, risk, compliance, and data governance to ensure the viability and scalability of solutions.

  • Define, together with business and AI teams, criteria for evaluating the impact of data and business context on the performance and quality of developed solutions.

  1. Evolution of the data model and operating environment
  • Identify the capabilities, processes, and governance models that need to evolve to facilitate the development and scaling of AI solutions in the CIB business.

  • Detect structural limitations related to data availability, quality, access, governance, or consumption, proposing initiatives that accelerate their resolution.

  • Drive the evolution of the data model and knowledge assets to respond to the new needs of assistants, agents, and other AI-based solutions.

  • Collaborate on the definition of standards, methodologies, and best practices that enable the consistent, reusable, and scalable development of AI solutions.

  • Promote a balance between innovation, data governance, risk management, and regulatory compliance, facilitating the responsible adoption of artificial intelligence.

  1. AI adoption and connection with the innovation ecosystem
  • Act as a reference in the strategic use of data to enable artificial intelligence solutions in the CIB business.

  • Drive the responsible adoption of AI by promoting best practices, methodologies, and standards for data usage.

  • Identify trends, emerging capabilities, and best practices in data and artificial intelligence, evaluating their applicability to the CIB business.

  • Collaborate with business and Product Owners in identifying and defining new use cases where AI can generate differential impact.

  • Share knowledge and foster a culture of innovation, experimentation, and continuous learning that accelerates the adoption of Data for AI capabilities within the team.

  1. Cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management
  • Act as a liaison between business, data, technology, risk, and compliance, aligning objectives and facilitating a shared vision on Data for AI initiatives.

  • Collaborate with Product Owners and multidisciplinary teams to define functional requirements and ensure that solutions have the necessary data and capabilities for their development and scaling.

  • Foster a common understanding of data and business knowledge between functional and technical profiles, facilitating their correct translation into technological solutions.

  • Promote the reuse of data and knowledge assets across initiatives, generating synergies and accelerating value delivery.

What we're looking for

  • More than 5 years of experience in roles related to data, transformation, advanced analytics, or artificial intelligence applied to business.

  • Solid experience in data management: modeling, quality, governance, availability, consumption, and construction of reusable data assets.

  • Experience participating in artificial intelligence, advanced analytics, or digital transformation initiatives, collaborating with multidisciplinary teams.

  • Knowledge of data architectures and patterns that enable AI solutions, including semantic layers, contextual data, and knowledge assets.

  • Knowledge of the CIB business and BBVA's context will be highly valued.

  • Experience working on cross-functional projects with multiple stakeholders.

  • Knowledge of data analysis and processing tools (SQL, Python, BI, etc.) and understanding of the fundamentals of AI-based solutions.

  • Advanced level of English (C1).

  • Ability to understand, structure, and contextualize business data and knowledge to enable artificial intelligence solutions.

  • Ability to translate business needs into data requirements and AI capabilities.

  • Strategic vision to identify opportunities where data can generate competitive advantages through artificial intelligence.

  • Ability to work in complex, dynamic, and transforming environments.

  • Skill to influence and align stakeholders from business, technology, data, risk, and compliance areas.

  • Participate in the design and construction of the data and knowledge assets that will enable new AI assistants, copilots, and agents.

  • Work on high-impact global projects, collaborating with business, data, technology, risk, and transformation teams.

  • Contribute directly to the evolution of customer relationships and the way relationship managers work.

  • Develop your career in an innovative environment, with exposure to emerging technologies and opportunities for continuous learning in data and artificial intelligence.
