If you are passionate about data architecture and modeling expertise, and can translate complex business processes into strong data models, this role is ideal for you!

What You'll Do

• Define and evolve enterprise data architecture principles, standards, and build specifications.
• Produce detailed technical development artifacts including data flow diagrams, process flows and system interactions.
• Partner with collaborators to map processes, data flows and system dependencies end-to-end and translate complex business processes into clear data and process flow builds.
• Design end-to-end data lifecycle within the enterprise data platform, from source systems through standardization to consumption.
• Develop and maintain conceptual, logical, and physical data models that align with enterprise standards.
• Establish and enforce data modeling standards, naming conventions and documentation practices.
• Define and manage data abstraction layers (conceptual, logical, physical, semantic).
• Apply guidelines across 3NF, dimensional and Data Vault modeling approaches.
• Ensure alignment between business definitions, data structures and downstream consumption needs.
• Build and maintain canonical data models to enable consistency across systems and domains.
• Define enterprise integration patterns for data sharing (cloud share, batch, streaming, APIs, event-driven) and their appropriate use.
• Architect for interoperability across platforms, enabling decoupled and reusable data assets.
• Define data contracts and interface specifications between producers and consumers.
• Make and detail architecture trade‑offs (e.g., normalization vs usability, latency vs consistency).
• Promote data quality, lineage and governance throughout data flows.
• Perform data analysis and data profiling to validate assumptions and inform builds.
• Guide and mentor team members on architectural standards and technical build guidelines.

• Excellent communication and storytelling skills with data structures.
• Highly diligent with a focus on accuracy, consistency and semantic clarity.
• Ability to evaluate trade-offs and make sound architectural decisions.
