Are you a seasoned Data Architect with a passion for designing robust and scalable data solutions in a dynamic B2C environment? This is your chance to join a globally recognised sporting institution, directly impacting how they engage with their worldwide fanbase. We’re looking for a leader who can drive their data strategy forward, blending strong technical expertise with exceptional people skills.
THE COMPANY:
The business a leading sport institution with a rich history and a worldwide fanbase. Their commercial success is intricately linked to performance; when they’re at the top, fan engagement soars, merchandise sales increase, and tickets are in high demand. They’ve seen commercial growth in recent years, building on a period of stability brought by our current leadership.
You’ll find a unique blend of experience and fresh perspectives here. While the business grows, many colleagues have dedicated decades to the organisation, creating a fantastic mix of old and new.

They’re also looking to add Databricks, with Unity Catalog, and are keen to optimise its use. They’re moving away from a monolithic stack, adopting GraphQL for the new digital platforms, which will feature ML-driven content recommendations. You’ll take ownership of the data architecture, working closely with our internal IT and DevOps teams, evolving it from its current state to meet our ambitious future goals.
YOUR SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE:
The ideal Data Architect will have:
- Essential Technologies: Strong hands-on experience with Azure, Databricks, and Microsoft Dynamics.
- Industry Experience: Proven track record in B2C environments such as retail, entertainment, or media.
- Skills: A deep interest in the data element, coupled with a solid engineering background and demonstrable leadership abilities.
