• Collaborate with engineers, analysts, architects, and stakeholders to identify data requirements and ensure architecture evolves with business needs.
  
• Lead data quality assessments and recommend remediation strategies as needed.
  
• Provide architectural input into project planning, solution design, and implementation.
  

Required Skills & Experience:

• Proven hands-on experience across all facets of data architecture, including modelling, governance, quality, security, and analytics.
  
• Strong command of data modelling tools and techniques (e.g., ER/Studio, Erwin, SQL DBs, NoSQL DBs).
  
• Expertise in data warehousing, ETL/ELT processes, and cloud data ecosystems (Azure, AWS, Oracle, etc.).
  
• Familiarity with metadata management and data cataloguing tools.
  
• Knowledge of enterprise architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF, DAMA-DMBOK).
  
• Solid understanding of data privacy regulations (e.g., UK GDPR) and industry compliance standards.
  
• Experience with BI platforms such as Power BI, Oracle OAC, or Tableau.
  
• Ability to articulate complex data structures and concepts to technical and non-technical audiences.
  

Desirable Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, or a related field.
