What To Expect From The Role
- Leading enterprise information architecture design, creating semantic, conceptual, logical models that engineering teams translate into Azure Synapse and Databricks based physical implementations.
- Architecting domain data models for commerce (store, consumer, marketing, omnichannel, e-commerce), manufacturing (production, quality, materials), and supply chain (wholesale, inventory, distribution, planning) that reflect business capabilities.
- Designing data product interfaces and semantic contracts that define how business entities flow through bronze-to-gold transformations, enabling interoperability between domain-owned data products.
- Developing semantic layer architectures that provide business-oriented abstractions, hiding technical complexity while enabling self-service analytics.
- Review data architectural blueprints for core application transformation (SAP, Salesforce, o9, workforce management) ensuring smooth transitional architecture while maintaining business continuity.
- Co-create master data management strategies for products, customers, suppliers, and stores, establishing authoritative sources and harmonization patterns across systems together with master data responsible.
- Establishing data quality measures and modelling standards embedded in architectural patterns: operational schemas in bronze, conformed and dimensional entities in silver, and consumption-ready models in gold.
- Reviewing key physical model proposals from engineering teams, ensuring alignment with enterprise information data models.
- Designing information value chains and data product specifications with clear contracts for downstream consumption by analytics, AI, and data consumers.
- Mapping business capabilities to information domains, creating bounded contexts aligned with Domain-Driven Design principles for manufacturing, commerce, and supply chain.
- Providing architectural oversight through design reviews and decision records to ensure adherence to data standards and governance requirements.
- Proven experience designing enterprise-scale information architectures (multi-source, multi-domain at scale) that successfully went into production.
- Domain expertise in commerce, manufacturing, or supply chain data models - understanding product hierarchies, inventory flows, customer journeys, manufacturing, or merchandising analytics.
- Demonstrated experience architecting shared data models in modern lakehouse patterns, including defining silver-layer conformance standards and gold-layer consumption contracts.
- Practical experience with both traditional dimensional modeling (Kimball, Data Vault etc.) and modern data mesh/lakehouse patterns, with ability to guide teams through transitional architectures harmonizing both paradigms.
- Understanding of Azure data platform capabilities (Synapse, Databricks, Unity Catalog, Data Factory) to guide architectural decisions in daily implementations.
- Track record of guiding teams through major digital transformations, particularly SAP S/4HANA migrations, o9 implementations, or multi-system platform modernizations.
- Demonstrated ability to create semantic layers and logical models that achieved actual business adoption and self-service analytics usage.
- Experience establishing master data management patterns and data governance frameworks integrated into architectural design.
- Excellence in stakeholder communication - explaining data architecture to non-technical audiences while providing technical guidance to engineering teams.
- Collaborative leadership style - guiding teams to good decisions rather than mandating solutions, with pragmatic approach balancing best practices with delivery realities.
