🔐 Active SC Clearance
Our client is one of the UK and Ireland’s leading digital transformation consultancies, delivering large-scale programmes across government, healthcare, defence, and enterprise organisations. They have built a strong reputation for combining high-level consulting with deep technical engineering capability, giving teams the opportunity to work on genuinely complex, high-impact data and AI transformation programmes.
Due to continued growth across their Data & AI practice, they are looking for an experienced Data Architect to join the business at Manager level.
This role is ideal for someone who can operate across both strategy and hands-on delivery. You will work closely with clients to shape data architecture approaches, solve complex data challenges, and lead teams delivering modern data platforms across large-scale transformation programmes.
You will also play a key role internally through technical leadership, mentoring, standards definition, and helping grow the wider data capability.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Designing enterprise-scale data architectures across complex transformation programmes
- Leading on data modelling, data flows, metadata management, governance, migration, and transformation
- Working closely with clients to define scalable, fit-for-purpose data solutions
- Providing technical leadership across delivery teams and wider architecture functions
- Supporting data platform, data lake, and modern cloud-based data ecosystem initiatives
- Helping clients improve data governance, data quality, and information management practices
- Managing, mentoring, and developing junior consultants and architects
- Engaging senior technical and non-technical stakeholders across public sector and healthcare environments
What They’re Looking For
- Strong experience within UK Public Sector or Healthcare environments
- Proven consulting experience delivering data-focused transformation programmes
- Deep expertise across core data architecture disciplines
- Experience leading technical teams and setting data standards and best practices
- Strong stakeholder engagement and client-facing capability
- Experience evaluating and selecting enterprise data technologies
- Highly proficient across multiple mainstream data technologies
- Comfortable operating in complex environments with ambiguity and evolving requirements
Desirable Experience
- Enterprise Data Architecture
- Data governance frameworks and operating models
- Data lake architecture and ecosystem design
- Information handling models and capacity planning
- Large-scale cloud data platform environments
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
You will be joining a business trusted to deliver some of the UK’s most visible and important digital transformation programmes. Their Data & AI capability continues to grow rapidly, with major investment across cloud, AI, analytics, and modern data platforms.
The environment is highly collaborative, technically strong, and delivery-focused. You will work alongside experienced architects, engineers, consultants, and AI specialists on projects that directly impact public services and large-scale organisational transformation.
