The Data Architecture Manager plays a critical role in defining and documenting the flow of data across the enterprise. This role is focused on identifying authoritative data sources, establishing data lineage, and documenting end-to-end data flows — from source systems where data originates to the final systems where it is consumed for reporting, analytics, or decision-making.
Working under the direction of the Director, Data Architect, the Manager will collaborate closely with business and application teams to ensure that data assets are well understood, traceable, and trustworthy. This individual will also support the development of enterprise data models and assist in managing a burst capacity of contractors, with potential for leading full-time staff as the team matures.
This position offers a Hybrid work schedule from one of our offices in either San Diego CA, El Segundo CA or Dallas TX.

- Minimum of 6 years of experience in data architecture, data analysis, or data engineering, with at least 2 years in a leadership or project lead role.
- Strong understanding of data lineage and data flow documentation practices and tools.
- Familiarity with authoritative source identification and golden record management practices.
- Working knowledge of data modeling concepts (e.g., 3NF, dimensional modeling).
- Experience with metadata management or governance tools (e.g., Collibra, Alation, Informatica EDC).
- Ability to work cross-functionally with technical teams (data engineers, app developers) and business users.
- Strong communication and documentation skills, including producing diagrams and system maps.
- Experience leading or overseeing contractors or project-based staff.
Strong attention to detail and ability to work under the guidance of senior architecture leadership.
What would really catch our eye:
- Experience in financial services or other regulated industries.
- Familiarity with cloud-based data platforms (Azure, Snowflake, Databricks).

- Knowledge of data governance frameworks and data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).

Compensation:
The salary range for this role is $125,000 - $196,000, plus competitive performance-based bonus. Compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors unique to each candidate, including but not limited to skill set, years and depth of experience, certifications, and specific office location. Compensation ranges may differ in differing locations due to cost of labor considerations.
