The Role: Data Architect
Location: Birmingham (once a week)
Salary: Up to £85,000 + bonus + generous pension
VIQU have partnered with a leading organisation undergoing a large scale brownfield transformation, replacing an existing platform with a modern, scalable solution (with technologies yet to be decided).
This role would suit a pragmatic Data Architect who has previously designed and built a greenfield or brownfield platform with a high level of autonomy. The organisation is currently relatively immature from a data architecture perspective, so the ideal candidate must be comfortable operating with ambiguity, shaping direction and implementing data governance frameworks.
Experience within a highly regulated industry would be advantageous.
Key Responsibilities of the Data Architect:
- Own and shape the enterprise data architecture vision, strategy and maturity roadmap.
- Design the end-to-end data platform, including data models, data lakes, warehouses and integrations.
- Define data standards and establish a robust data governance framework, developing data quality and security standards in line with regulatory requirements.
- Ensure readiness for AI/ML integration.
- Evaluate emerging tools, cloud platforms and analytics technologies.
- Work with external partners to establish a “single version of the truth” across the industry and enable secure data sharing.
Requirements
- Previous experience as a Data Architect, having previously shaped or matured an organisation’s data landscape.
- Experience within a regulated industry (e.g. utilities, finance, defence). Energy/utilities experience (gas, water, power, electricity) would be highly desirable.
- Broad knowledge of modern data platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks).
- Experience working within SAP environments/modules (e.g. S/4 HANA, RISE) would be advantageous.
