Enterprise Data Architect

Ciklum is looking for an Enterprise Data Architect to join our team full-time in the United Kingdom. We are a custom product engineering company that supports both multinational organizations and scaling startups to solve their most complex business challenges. With a global team of over 4,000 highly skilled developers, consultants, analysts and product owners, we engineer technology that redefines industries and shapes the way people live.

About the role:

As an Enterprise Data Architect, become a part of a cross-functional development team engineering experiences of tomorrow. The Enterprise Data & Analytics team delivers a portfolio of solutions bringing together data assets, governance and technologies to support Client’s mission to make it easy to do business. We partner with the business to understand their needs and ensure we deliver measurable value, operational efficiency and scalable data foundations. As we evolve our Business Data Strategy, we are focused on creating a more integrated, trusted and reusable data ecosystem that enables better decision-making and supports growth.

As Enterprise Data Architect, you will play a critical role in shaping and enabling Business Data Strategy by defining how our core data assets are structured, connected and governed across the organisation. You will ensure we move from fragmented, initiative-led data solutions toward a cohesive, scalable and integrated data architecture, enabling a true single source of truth across key domains such as customer, product, revenue and growth metrics. You will work closely with business and technology teams to translate business needs into clear, scalable data design, ensuring that strategic initiatives such as Growth Intelligence are built on strong, reusable and aligned data foundations. Your success will be measured by the extent to which Client achieves consistent, trusted and reusable data, reduces duplication and fragmentation, and enables faster, more confident decision-making across the business.

Responsibilities:

• Defining and owning the target enterprise data architecture, ensuring that key data domains and “golden data assets” are clearly structured, connected and aligned across the organisation.
• Ensuring that data initiatives contribute to a single, integrated source of truth, avoiding duplication, conflicting definitions and siloed solutions.
• Partnering with business stakeholders to understand decision-making needs and translate these into scalable, outcome-driven data design.
• Working closely with technology teams to guide implementation, ensuring alignment with enterprise platforms (e.g. Snowflake) and integration patterns.
• Establishing and promoting standards for data modelling, integration and reuse, enabling consistency across federated teams while supporting flexibility where needed.
• Contributing to the Business Data Strategy and roadmap, ensuring architectural considerations are embedded and support long-term scalability and value.

Requirements:

• Experience designing and implementing data architectures in complex, enterprise environments, ideally with a mix of central and federated models.
• Strong understanding of data modelling, data integration, data lifecycle and data platforms (e.g. Snowflake), with the ability to engage effectively with technical teams.
• Ability to translate business needs into clear data design, with a focus on enabling decision-making and delivering measurable business outcomes.
• Experience working with data governance, master data management and data quality concepts, and understanding how these are enabled through architecture.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to work across business and technology teams and drive alignment in a matrix environment.
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with pragmatic delivery, ensuring solutions are both scalable and achievable.
• Experience of supporting or delivering data-led transformation initiatives is advantageous.

What’s in it for you?

• Private Equity backed environment to foster growth and collaboration.
• Great earning potential for the entrepreneurial high performer.
• Build your career in a proven successful high growth company with unique service offering on the market.
• Variety of knowledge sharing, training and self-development opportunities.
