Ref: J13169

Shape the data architecture behind a major transformation within a purpose-led organisation.

This is a new and pivotal role for a commercially minded Data Architect who can engage across the business, influence senior stakeholders and design data models that support better services and outcomes. The organisation currently operates an on-premises SQL environment with Tableau reporting. As part of its transformation journey, it plans to move towards Microsoft Fabric and Databricks.

What you'll be doing

• Defining and evolving the data architecture and roadmap.
• Designing analytical, semantic and reporting data models.
• Creating data maps and data-flow documentation.
• Shaping the future migration from legacy systems to a modern data platform.
• Ensuring data is secure, accessible, reliable and effectively governed.
• Translating business priorities into practical architectural decisions.
• Working closely with Data, Analytics, Infrastructure, Architecture and Security teams.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience as a Data Architect with strong data modelling expertise.
• Strong SQL Server and data architecture experience.
• Experience working within Tableau reporting environments.
• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Databricks or similar modern cloud data platforms would be advantageous.
• A track record of supporting data transformation or migration programmes.
• Strong commercial awareness and the ability to balance value, cost and long-term sustainability.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including at executive level.

This is an architecture and modelling role rather than a pure Data Engineering position. You'll combine strategic thinking with practical delivery, helping shape a data platform that makes a meaningful difference.
