• Collaborate closely with data modellers, solution architects, SMEs, platform managers, and data business analysts to build a comprehensive understanding of the data landscape.
• Deliver critical data architecture inputs to support the HMod architecture transition, focusing on integration touchpoints between Salesforce and Legacy platforms.
• Identify data constraints, risks, issues, and blockers that may impact proposed solution architecture options and delivery timelines.
• Support detailed design and build planning for Middleware MVP, ensuring data architecture is delivery-ready.
• Work in close partnership with the Enterprise Data Architect, ensuring alignment with enterprise data strategy, governance, and standards.

• Proven experience as a Data Architect working across complex enterprise environments.
• Strong capability in data integration architecture, including cross-system data flows, interfaces, and dependencies.
• Experience supporting large-scale transformation programmes within financial services (insurance experience highly desirable).
• Strong understanding of customer data and operational data domains such as sales, servicing, claims, and customer journeys.
• Ability to engage effectively with UK-based stakeholders, including senior SMEs and business/technology leaders.
• Comfortable working in Agile delivery environments and fast-moving greenfield programmes.

Desirable/Nice to Have:

• Salesforce data architecture experience (advantageous).
