Lead Data Architect

Lead Data Architect - 120,000 plus a brilliant benefits package - Bristol based

One of our long-standing clients in the private investment space is building out their data capability and are hiring a Lead Data Architect on a permanent basis. The benefits are genuinely strong. You get 40 days holiday, a 20 percent pension, private healthcare, a share scheme and a list of other perks.

This would suit someone who still enjoys being hands on with the tech but also wants a role with influence and ownership. You will design the data architecture that supports everything from reporting and analytics through to operational systems. You will work with engineering and senior stakeholders to define how data is modelled, integrated, stored and governed across the business.

There is a lot of room to shape the direction of things. New ideas and new tools are encouraged.

The long term plan is for this position to move towards a Head of role and take on team leadership alongside the Head of Engineering.

Experience we are looking for:

A solid background in Data Architecture

Hands on experience across data and software design

Experience with cloud data platforms with Microsoft Fabric as the preferred option

Experience with modern data warehousing

Strong data modelling skills across relational and NoSQL

Experience with governance, metadata, master data and integration including ETL ELT and API based approaches

The culture is very flat. You will be trusted quickly, supported properly and given a clear path for progression.
