We’re looking for a Data Architect who can take ownership of enterprise‑wide data governance and shape the future of data architecture across a complex, fast‑moving financial services environment. If you’re passionate about building scalable, compliant, cloud‑ready data ecosystems, this role puts you right at the centre of transformation.
What You’ll Be Doing- Developing and embedding governance frameworks covering ownership models, metadata strategy, lifecycle policies, and retention standards.
- Leading cross‑functional governance activity, including chairing a Data Governance Council and driving stewardship across the organisation.
- Defining and enforcing data quality standards while ensuring alignment with GDPR, CCPA, and wider regulatory expectations.
- Designing and delivering modern data platforms, supporting cloud adoption, and shaping architecture across data lakes, warehouses, and content systems.
- Promoting a data‑first culture through training, awareness, and best‑practice enablement.
- Strong experience in data architecture and modelling (conceptual, logical, physical).
- Background working with data lakes, warehouses, and master data management.
- Hands‑on skills in ETL/ELT, integration, and orchestration.
- Familiarity with Azure, Fabric, PowerBI, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.
- 5+ years’ recent experience in financial services or fintech.
- Certifications such as Azure/Fabric Data Engineer Associate or Snow Pro Advanced Architect.
- Experience designing analytics platforms in regulated environments.
- Confident communicator with strong stakeholder engagement skills.
- Analytical, detail‑driven, and structured in your approach.
- Collaborative leader who enjoys influencing and enabling others.
