Key Responsibilities:
• Develop and evolve data domain architectures that support business activities, ensuring solutions are scalable and aligned to long term strategic goals.

• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across the business, translating needs into clear data requirements and building strong, trusted relationships.
• Ensure project data designs align with the overall data architecture, identifying and resolving issues early to support delivery.
• Work closely with application and integration teams to deliver reliable, well documented integrations that meet agreed standards.
• Improve how data is structured, managed, and shared, driving better quality, consistency, and interoperability across the organisation.

Skills:
• Proven experience in data architecture or data modelling, with a track record of delivering scalable, well-structured data solutions.
• Experience working in complex environments, with an understanding of data integration and data exchange at scale.
• The ability to think strategically and link data decisions to business outcomes.
• Confidence working with a range of stakeholders, with the ability to explain complex ideas clearly and influence decisions.
• The ability to analyse and interpret strategic plans, improving data flows, data integration and data quality supporting business initiatives.
