A professional services firm who are scaling rapidly through acquisition, are looking for an Enterprise Data Architect to join their team in Stoke on Trent as they embark on a major transformation.

With ambitious growth plans, you'll join during phase 1 of a multi-year strategy to unify and modernise their data, cloud, and tech set-up, including the move from on-prem legacy systems to the cloud (which will most likely be Azure).

Reporting into their new CIO/CTO, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping and executing their enterprise-wide data strategy - requiring visionary thinking, excellent stakeholder engagement skills, and also brilliant hands-on technical ability.

• Leading the migration from legacy tools (e.g., SSIS, SSRS) to modern platforms like Azure Data Factory and Power BI




• Collaborating across cloud, tech, and data teams to align strategies




• Enabling the business to become AI-ready by optimising data flows and governance




• Getting hands-on to deliver your strategy - this isn't just a whiteboard role!

Experience Required:

• Proven experience as an Enterprise Data Architect in a complex, multi-system environment




• Strong technical background with the ability to roll up your sleeves when needed




• Experience with Azure (or cloud-agnostic mindset)




• Deep understanding of data integration, modernisation, and governance




• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
