• Resolve complex data design problems where requirements are unclear or collaborator needs conflict, exercising judgement within agreed architectural principles.
• Assess the data and integration requirements of new initiatives and recommend architectural options with the trade-offs, dependencies, risks and costs.
• Lead the data architecture element of the architectural review process, examining proposed designs for quality and direction.
• Plan and drive the delivery of data architecture initiatives, organising the specialist input and technical resource.
• Define the lineage, metadata and data quality requirements within architectural designs and liaise with governance and stewardship colleagues.
• Ensure security, privacy and regulatory requirements are designed into the data architecture from the outset across global locations.
