This a brilliant opportunity for a Data Architect with solid experience in designing and building data models to fulfill the strategic data needs of a business.

As Data Architect, you’ll help organisations get the maximum benefit from their technology investments.

The role.

As the Data Architect, you will advise on planning, specifying, enabling, creating, acquiring, maintaining, using, archiving, retrieving, controlling, and purging data as part of supporting a series of client-side engagements.

Working individually or as part of a larger team, you’ll undertake a number of consultancy assignments that could include:

• Defining data flows, i.e., which parts of the organization generate data, which require data to function, how data flows are managed, and how data changes in transition;
• Creating genuinely useful outcomes to help deliver client goals in major business transformation programmes;
• Hands-on analysis, not just assurance, including working with clients, users and other team members to address issues before they become blockers;
• Translating business requirements into technical specifications, including data streams, integrations, transformations, databases, and data warehouses;
• Defining the data architecture framework, standards and principles, including modelling, metadata, security, reference data such as product codes and client categories, and master data such as clients, vendors, materials, and employees;
• Defining reference architecture, which is a pattern that others can follow to create and improve data systems;
• Offering advice on potential solutions and products to solve and enhance client data and analytical reporting capabilities;
• Collaborating and coordinating with multiple departments, stakeholders, partners, and external vendors.
