Data Architect

Data Architect - Data Modelling, Architecture & Governance - London (Hybrid) - Up to £75,000

This is an opportunity to join an organisation that is investing in its data and digital capabilities, with a clear focus on building strong, well-designed data foundations.

You'll be part of a collaborative environment where people care about good design, governance and making improvements that last. If you enjoy tackling complex data challenges, influencing how things are done and working in a setting where your input is valued, this role should be of interest.

The Role

This is an architecture-focused role, centred on how data is structured, governed and used across the organisation. It is not a hands-on data engineering position and it is not aimed at someone looking to step into data architecture for the first time.

You will work with:

• Colleagues across Enterprise Architecture, BI, Data Governance and Technology Services
• Microsoft D365 and a modern medallion-style data architecture
• Data Architecture Assessments to support project and programme delivery
• The organisation's Data Architecture Framework, helping maintain consistency and good governance
• Translating business requirements into clear, scalable data models and architecture
• Creating and presenting architecture artefacts that make sense to both technical and non-technical audiences

The organisation is working towards a centralised data platform using Microsoft Fabric, with a strong emphasis on putting the right architecture and models in place before focusing on technology delivery.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a Data Architect with a solid grounding in data modelling and architecture principles. You should be comfortable designing data structures that support the business over the long term and confident in your architectural judgement.

Key Experience

• Experience in a Data Architecture or architecture-led role within a complex environment
• Strong understanding of conceptual, logical and physical data modelling
• Knowledge of data modelling methodologies such as 3NF, Kimball and OBT
• A background in data modelling and/or data governance, with experience designing scalable data architectures
• Comfortable working technology-agnostic, providing architectural oversight rather than hands-on engineering
• Able to explain architectural concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders, with a curious and thoughtful approach

This role focuses on architecture, design and governance, not hands-on data engineering.

Benefits

• 30 days annual leave
• Enhanced pension scheme - employer contributions start at 8% and can rise to 14%
• Hybrid working (2 days per week in the London office, with some flexibility)
• Enhanced maternity and paternity leave
• 24-hour Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle to Work scheme)
• Season ticket loans

If you're a Data Architect who enjoys designing strong data foundations and influencing how data is used across an organisation, this is well worth a conversation.
