Enterprise Data Architect

Enterprise Data Architect | £80,000 – £100,000 | Remote with frequent travel to Scotland and London

A leading bank have embarked on a mission of positive change and transformation to modernise everything data, analytics and AI related across the organisation. The core focus is about adding business value and driving the use of data forward to enable the organisation to achieve its strategic objectives.

Working exclusively with KDR Talent Solutions to grow their Chief Data Office and hire an Enterprise Data Architect who can take a top down view starting with the business to build a world class enterprise data architecture!

The Company

In this case, it might sound too good to be true, but it\’s not! An amazing, recognisable brand, who are known for providing unbelievable experiences for their customers. This ethos filters into their employee culture so expect:

• Predominantly remote working with regular business travel to their main Office locations
• Incredible Learning & Development and career progression opportunities
• Gender neutral parental leave
• 30 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays
• Discretionary Bonus, Good Pension, Private Medical, income protection, life assurance
• Incredible well-being benefits!
• An amazing purpose and value lead approach to flexible working!

The Role

A role like this does not come around very often, if at all! This is an opportunity to take ownership of the strategy and delivery, of the enterprise data architecture tooling and processes.

You will need to bring the following to the table:

• Extensive Enterprise Data Architecture or Enterprise Information Architecture experience within banking. This means: You’ve been the enterprise level data architect and not a technology led or solution architect.
• You are comfortable in engaging and managing stakeholders to board level…
• …and equally comfortable working with solution architects, technical designers etc
• Experience and background in delivery enterprise scale data architecture the tooling around it and the best practice in terms of standards and processes.
• You\’ll be driving change and challenging with WHY? Enterprise Data Architecture here starts with a business first approach.
• Data Architecture – This role is not a solution architect or technical architecture position, it is an enterprise architecture role with a data specialism and as such you should have experience or certification in delivering to best practice frameworks such as TOGAF.

This is literally and quite possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who wants to get their name to a huge transformation as this organisation move from chaos to order and build a world class enterprise data architecture including a conceptual data model and architecture that spans the entire business. Join a forward thinking collaborative organisation at the beginning of significant change. The future is certainly interesting here as well and I would love to explain more about the impact you will have as the Enterprise Data Architect.

n.b. Technology is not mentioned in this advert – that is because it is an Enterprise Architecture role with data specialism. However, from a technology perspective the organisation is moving from a legacy \’spaghetti\’ estate primarily to Azure, leveraging other data technology such as Collibra for data quality and governance.
