London (1 day per week) | European travel (3–4 times per year) We're partnering with an innovative, product-led fintech that's investing heavily in its data platform and is looking for an experienced Data Architect to help shape the future of its data capability.
This is an opportunity to join a business where data sits at the heart of the product.
You'll take ownership of the data architecture, lead the data function, and design a modern, scalable platform that enables customers to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
This is far more than a traditional data architecture role.
You'll have the autonomy to influence technical strategy, work closely with Product and Engineering, and build a platform that will directly impact the customer experience.
What you'll be doing Designing and owning the overall data architecture and strategy.
Building a scalable, cloud-native data platform using Snowflake.
Creating customer-focused data products and capabilities.
Leading and mentoring the data team.
Working closely with Product, Engineering and senior stakeholders to shape the data roadmap.
Establishing best practices around architecture, governance and data quality.
Driving innovation and ensuring the platform can scale with the business.
What we're looking for Proven experience as a Data Architect or similar senior data leadership role.
Strong hands‑on experience designing and implementing data platforms with Snowflake.
Background working within a product‑led fintech or technology business.
Experience building customer‑facing data products or platforms.
Strong understanding of modern cloud data architectures.
Experience leading technical teams and influencing engineering best practice.
Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills.
What's important We're particularly interested in people who have worked in fast‑growing, product‑focused fintech organisations.
This role is not suited to candidates whose experience has been primarily within large, traditional banking environments or enterprise reporting functions.
We're looking for someone who enjoys building products, solving customer problems and moving quickly.
Location Hybrid working – 1 day per week in London.
Travel to Europe approximately 3–4 times per year.
Why apply?
Own the architecture of a business‑critical data platform.
Influence technology strategy from day one.
Lead and develop the data function.
Work in a collaborative, engineering‑first environment.
Build products that have a direct impact on customers.
Join a growing fintech where your decisions will genuinely shape the future of the platform.
If you're passionate about modern data architecture, enjoy building scalable data products, and want to make a real impact within a growing fintech, we'd love to hear from you. #J-18808-Ljbffr
