• A developed understanding of TOGAF or equivalent enterprise architecture frameworks.
• Hands-on experience in data warehousing, data lakes, data modelling, and ETL processes.
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills with the ability to influence and inspire across all levels.
• A proactive, forward-thinking mindset with a passion for innovation, sustainability, and continuous improvement.

Your Background

• TOGAF certification (preferred) or demonstrable experience in enterprise architecture.
• Eligible to work in the UK.
