As the Lead Data Architect, you will own the technical design and delivery of data and software architecture, whilst embracing the latest technology. This is still very much a 'hands on' technical role where you will also work closely with stakeholders.
You will also play a pivotal role in strategic authority on data architecture across the organisation. You will define and evolve the enterprise‑wide architecture that underpins analytics, reporting, and operational systems. You will set the vision for how data is structured, integrated, and governed, and lead the development of architectural standards, patterns, and principles that guide technical delivery across teams.
To Be Successful, You Will Have
 * Several years of experience in Data Architecture
 * Expertise in data architecture, software architecture and data model design
 * Hands‑on experience with cloud data platforms (Microsoft Fabric as a preference) and modern data warehousing
 * Deep proficiency in data modelling (conceptual, logical, physical) across relational, dimensional, and NoSQL paradigms
 * Skill in data integration, ETL/ELT design, and API‑driven architectures
 * Experience with data governance, metadata management, and master data management
They're big on expertise, not hierarchy, so you'll be trusted with more responsibility while supported by everyone around you. You'll be encouraged to grow at every career stage in the direction that interests you with amazing support and training plus a tailored career progression plan.
The goal for this position is to progress into a Head of, role and lead/manage the team alongside the Head of Engineering.
