Senior Data Architect (Climate Reporting Data Structures) — Remote
We’re looking for a Senior Data Architect to support a climate reporting transformation project. The work focuses on understanding current reporting structures, documenting how data is organized today, and designing a future‑ready conceptual data model that will support a new reporting solution built on Microsoft Power Platform.
If you enjoy working with inconsistent hierarchies, user‑defined configurations, and complex reporting datasets, this is a great fit.
What you’ll do
- Analyse and document current‑state data structures used for climate/emissions reporting
- Interpret variable site hierarchies and inconsistent configuration patterns
- Produce schema maps, data dictionaries, and clear documentation
- Identify anomalies, risks, and complexity drivers that may impact migration
- Build a summary dashboard using Microsoft Power Platform to visualise patterns and key stats
- Recommend conceptual data models for the replacement reporting platform
- Create plain‑language summaries and visuals for leadership‑level decision making
Skills we need (must‑have)
- Data analysis
- Experience working with complex or highly variable data structures
Delivery approach (fixed scope, milestone‑based)
This engagement is structured across three delivery stages:
Stage 1: Current configuration profiling
- Document site structures and hierarchy patterns
- Catalogue reporting categories/sources and where they sit in the hierarchy
- Map user access types and usage patterns
- Capture anomalies and underused data structures
Stage 2: Analysis & synthesis
- Build a dashboard with one view per entity + summary view
- Identify patterns and group typical configuration types
- Create 3–5 visual examples of common structures
Stage 3: Findings & recommended future model
- Provide clear visuals + plain‑language interpretations
- Recommend one or more conceptual data models
- Summarise risks and migration considerations
- 100% remote
- You should be available for meetings/collaboration between 9AM and 5PM PST
- Delivery completion target: late March 2026
