Job description

We are hiring a Data Technical Architect to take a strategic lead in shaping the future of data and information systems for a marine energy supplier.

You will assess the current data and technology landscape, identify gaps and inefficiencies, and design an architecture roadmap that replaces legacy approaches with a modern, integrated and scalable data ecosystem that supports the entire business.

What you will do

• Define and lead the data and information architecture strategy across the organisation
• Assess current data systems, pipelines and structures, and design a coherent future state data architecture
• Drive integration, data quality, governance, resilience and compliance across all platforms
• Shape standards, best practice and technical direction while still supporting hands on delivery where needed
• Partner with teams across the business to ensure architecture decisions align with real operational needs
• Champion modernisation and support the shift away from legacy technologies

What you will bring

• Proven expertise in data architecture or data focused technical architecture, ideally within physical trading or commodities businesses
• Broad business exposure with experience working across entire organisations, not confined to a single department
• A track record of building or maturing an architectural function from the ground up
• Strong knowledge of enterprise and data architecture frameworks such as TOGAF
• Ability to influence stakeholders, guide engineers and shape long term strategy
• Comfortable operating in both Agile and Waterfall environments

This is an excellent opportunity to join a global leader in marine energy and shape the future of its data landscape. If you are ready to lead, modernise and deliver meaningful architectural change, I would love to speak with you.
