• Providing data‑focused architectural leadership across programmes, projects and delivery squads.
• Defining and maintaining conceptual, logical and physical data models.
• Reviewing engineering designs to ensure alignment with agreed data standards and best practice.
• Working closely with Data Engineering, Governance and Technology Architecture teams on data‑related decisions.
• Acting as a senior advisor on data architecture, modelling and platform design across the organisation.

• Proven experience in enterprise‑scale data architecture and data modelling roles.
• Strong understanding of modern cloud‑based data platforms and services.
• Solid knowledge of data integration, transformation and modelling patterns.
• Experience defining future‑state data platform strategies within cloud environments (Azure, AWS, Snowflake or similar).
• Understanding of modern data concepts such as data products and “data as a product”.
• Ability to influence senior stakeholders and collaborate effectively with technology architects.
• Familiarity with contemporary data engineering tooling (e.g. Snowflake‑centric stacks, DBT, Airflow, Fivetran).
