Riverflex; Netherlands; Remote; EUR 129,150 - 221,400; Full time

Job summary

Riverflex is seeking a DATA ARCHITECT / DATA MODELLER for an interim on-site assignment in Amsterdam. You will define conceptual and logical data models, separating common core from country- and business-line extensions, and design mapping patterns to connect local data to the shared layer.

Joining a lean, senior team, you will translate models into physical design principles and support validation with country and business-line stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Strong hands-on data modelling and data architecture experience (conceptual, logical and physical).
• Semantic modelling expertise — ontologies, knowledge graphs, Linked Data (e.g. RDF, SHACL) and related tooling.
• Experience with Domain-Driven Design and defining a semantic layer over multiple source systems.
• Grounding in data governance and data management practice (e.g. DAMA / CDMP-style frameworks).
• A structured, transparent communication style; comfortable bridging business goals and technical execution across distributed teams.
• EU work authorisation.

Responsibilities

• Define the conceptual and logical data model, including core domains, entities and relationships.
• Separate shared enterprise semantics from country-, sector- and business-line-specific extensions.
• Design local-to-central mapping principles, data standards and controlled extension patterns.
• Establish ownership, quality, lineage, metadata and model change-control approaches with the team.
• Translate the model into physical design principles and inputs for the data engineering backlog.
• Work with country and business-line stakeholders to validate the model and drive adoption.
