The Company

They are a well-established UK organisation with a complex data landscape and a strong commitment to modernising their data capabilities. Having invested significantly in cloud-based data infrastructure, they are now focused on building scalable, high-quality data products that support both operational and strategic objectives.

Data is becoming increasingly central to business decision making, and this role offers the chance to influence data strategy at a senior level while remaining hands-on with architecture and modelling.

  • Defining modelling standards, governance frameworks, and data feed specifications
  • Supporting the design of semantic layers that enable reporting, analytics, and future AI use cases
  • Collaborating closely with Data Engineers and Analytics Engineers in an agile delivery environment
  • Producing architecture documentation, diagrams, and technical designs
  • Influencing wider business systems to ensure strong data architecture principles are embedded throughout the organisation
  • Driving best practice across data quality, consistency, scalability, and governance

Your Skills & Experience

  • Strong hands-on experience as a Data Architect within enterprise-scale environments
  • Expertise in dimensional modelling, star schemas, facts and dimensions, and Kimball methodologies
  • Experience designing and implementing Medallion Architecture frameworks
  • Strong knowledge of Azure-based Data Lakehouse environments
  • Experience creating curated and semantic data layers for analytical consumption
  • Proven ability to develop architecture standards, governance frameworks, and modelling best practice
  • Experience working across the full data lifecycle, from source systems through to business-facing analytics
  • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior decision-makers

Desirable experience:

  • Background in financial services, professional services, legal services, or similarly complex data environments
  • Experience supporting organisations on their journey towards customer-centric or client-centric data models

What They Offer

  • Highly flexible remote working model with occasional travel
  • Significant autonomy and ownership within a major data transformation programme
  • Direct exposure to senior technology and business stakeholders
  • Opportunity to become the organisation's lead authority on data modelling and architecture
  • Clear opportunities to shape strategy and influence the future direction of the data platform
