• Confident building data governance frameworks (policies, standards, stewardship, lifecycle governance)
• Comfortable working with both structured and unstructured data (e.g. data lakes + content management)
• Strong stakeholder engagement - able to influence and align business areas around data ownership, metadata and quality
• Experience establishing governance forums/councils and driving a data-driven culture

Nice to have (not essential)

• Cloud exposure (Azure / Fabric / Power BI) and modern data platforms (warehouse, ETL/ELT)
• Experience with tooling such as data catalogues / metadata management / data quality tools

If you're looking for a role where you can take real ownership, shape governance end-to-end, and work in a collaborative environment where culture matters please apply for immediate consideration.

Profectus Recruitment is partnered with a highly regulated financial services company to hire a strategic Data Architect. This role will play a key part in shaping enterprise-wide data governance, architecture and content management as the business continues its journey towards more modern, cloud-native platforms. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys autonomy, building things properly, and driving governance frameworks that stick, not just creating documents. Culture is important: you'll be joining a collaborative, stakeholder-led environment where influencing and relationship building are as important as technical capability.
