• Define standards for data governance, security, lineage, and data quality
• Engage senior stakeholders to shape data strategy, architecture roadmaps, and transformation plans
• Provide architecture governance and solution assurance across delivery teams
• Support pre-sales, solution shaping, and client presentations where required

Essential Experience

• Proven experience as a Data Architect, Analytics Architect, or Senior Cloud Data Consultant
• Strong background in enterprise data platform and analytics architecture
• Extensive experience with Azure data ecosystem (Fabric, Databricks, Synapse, Azure Data Factory)
• Strong understanding of data modelling (Kimball, dimensional modelling, lakehouse patterns)
• Experience designing enterprise ETL/ELT and data integration architectures
• Strong BI architecture experience (Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent)
• Solid understanding of data governance, security, metadata, and data quality frameworks
• Ability to translate complex business requirements into scalable architectures
• Strong consulting and stakeholder engagement experience

Desirable

• Exposure to AI/ML and advanced analytics platform architecture
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric adoption or modernisation programmes
• Knowledge of Databricks Lakehouse architecture patterns
• Experience in regulated environments (government, defence, financial services)
• Familiarity with DevOps, CI/CD, and DataOps practices in cloud environments
• Experience contributing to architecture governance boards and solution assurance

Why Join?

• Shape enterprise-wide data and analytics transformation programmes
• Influence architecture strategy for major UK organisations
• Join a high-growth consulting environment with strong technical focus
• Work with modern cloud technologies and next-generation data platforms
• Flexible remote-first model with occasional London travel
