You will play a key role in ensuring data assets brought onto the new platform are consistent, interoperable and reusable, supporting both reporting and analytical use cases while maintaining strong data quality and structure.

• Align data structures across multiple source systems to improve consistency and interoperability.
• Design models that support reusable enterprise data assets, reporting and analytical use cases.
• Work closely with data and technology teams to understand requirements and translate them into effective data models.
• Balance the need for rapid delivery with long-term data quality, scalability and structural coherence.
• Contribute to the development of data modelling standards and best practices across the organisation.

Key Skills & Experience

• Strong hands-on experience in data modelling within enterprise environments.
• Experience working with modern data platforms, data products and analytical use cases.
• Strong understanding of data structures, relationships and modelling principles.
• Experience working across multiple business domains and source systems.
• A pragmatic, delivery-focused approach with the ability to work effectively in a fast-moving transformation environment.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with both technical and business stakeholders.
• Insurance experience is desirable but not essential.
