• Develop robust data designs to enable scalable analytics, reporting and AI capabilities
• Define and embed architectural frameworks and standards across the data environment
• Provide governance and design assurance to ensure consistency, quality and alignment with regulatory expectations
• Enable strong data management practices including governance, lineage and data quality
• Contribute to the development of strategic data roadmaps, balancing immediate delivery needs with long-term goals
• Ensure data platforms and solutions meet requirements for security, performance, resilience, and compliance

Skills and Experience

• Proven experience in a senior data architecture role
• Strong knowledge of data architecture principles including data modelling and platform design
• Experience designing data solutions for analytics, reporting and Machine Learning use cases
• Experience working within regulated environments (e.g. financial services, insurance, banking)
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to communicate complex concepts clearly

What's on Offer

• Salary of up to £100,000
• Hybrid working arrangement - 3 days per week in office
• Opportunity to define architecture in a fast paced, evolving environment
• Robust company benefits package
