In a Nutshell

We're looking for a Data Architect who thrives on building something from the ground up. Not maintaining what already works—but creating the foundation that transforms how an organization uses data.

Our data infrastructure is at an exciting inflection point. We're evolving from fragmented data systems to a unified, trusted platform that empowers decision-making across the organization. This is your opportunity to design the target-state architecture, establish governance frameworks, implement best practices, and build the systems that enable true self-service analytics.

You'll be joining a lean, high-performing team and working closely with stakeholders across Finance, Work Management, and Reporting functions. This role combines strategic architecture design with hands-on implementation—you'll define the vision and build it.

This isn't a role where you'll be handed a roadmap and told to execute. You'll create the roadmap. You'll make consequential decisions. You'll establish credibility through delivered results. And you'll get your hands dirty implementing what you design—because in a growing team, architects who only strategize don't create impact.

If you've successfully built data architecture from scratch or led transformation initiatives, if you can explain technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders, and if you'd rather build something new than maintain something established—this is your role.

• Define data governance framework including ownership models, policies, and processes
• Establish architecture review process ensuring new data products meet standards and align with overall strategy

• Partner with application administrators (Net Suite, Salesforce, HiBob, etc.) to optimize data quality at source systems

• Build searchable data catalog enabling self-service data discovery
• Implement semantic layer defining business metrics consistently across all tools
• Create data products (Customer 360, Financial Performance, Campaign Analytics) serving specific business needs
• Train stakeholders on self-service capabilities and best practices
• Define and monitor SLAs for critical data pipelines

• Work hands-on with SQL, Python, and Snowflake—implementing the architecture you design
• Partner with Finance, Work Management, and Reporting teams to understand requirements and deliver solutions
• Review and approve architecture decisions for new data products
• Mentor team members on architectural patterns and best practices
• Build trust through clear communication, delivered commitments, and measurable improvements
