Competitive Rates


This isn’t a hands-off strategy role or a technical build. It’s the sweet spot in between.

We’re looking for a senior data architecture professional who can combine big-picture thinking with hands-on delivery—someone confident engaging at board level but just as comfortable producing frameworks, requirements, and artefacts themselves.

You’ll help steer a major data transformation programme at an early stage—bringing clarity, structure, and momentum across multiple high-impact workstreams.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Shape enterprise-level data architectures that align technology and business needs.
  • Provide architectural oversight across multiple projects, ensuring consistency and alignment.
  • Engage and influence senior stakeholders across business and IT.
  • Roll up your sleeves to deliver artefacts such as:
  • Governance frameworks and data operating model components
  • High-level functional/non-functional requirements
  • RFP support documentation (scoring matrices, requirements capture)
  • Support data initiatives including governance, quality, catalogue, and emerging AI policies.


What You’ll Bring

  • Proven experience in Enterprise Data Architecture or similar hybrid roles.
  • A strong grasp of data management principles—governance, quality, metadata, and operating models.
  • Credibility to engage at CxO level, plus the delivery focus to produce tangible outputs.
  • Comfort working across multiple project stages in a complex, matrix environment.
  • A pragmatic mindset: strategic enough to set direction, hands-on enough to deliver
