Job description

Data Architect or Technical Lead | Azure & Microsoft Fabric | London Hybrid

I’m supporting a large, purpose-led organisation that is building and scaling a modern enterprise Data and AI Platform across Microsoft Fabric and Azure. Both roles offer genuine ownership of a large-scale enterprise Data and AI transformation.

Data Architect

A predominantly architecture-focused role responsible for enterprise data architecture, integration strategy, technical roadmaps, governance, standards and design assurance. This would suit someone who operates strategically and provides architectural direction across complex data services.

A more hands-on leadership role responsible for turning the platform strategy into delivery. You will lead engineers while remaining technically involved across Microsoft Fabric, Azure, Lakehouse engineering, SQL, Python, PySpark, ETL/ELT, DevOps and AI-enabled automation.

They offer an overall package (base + pension) worth up to circa £95,000, including:

• 33 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Option to purchase additional annual leave
• Enhanced family and parental benefits
• 1-2 days in London offices with a gym
• Strong commitment to professional development
