Data Architect

We're looking for a hands-on, data-savvy leader to take ownership of a critical programme: consolidating enterprise customer data into a single, trusted customer view, cleansing and preparing it for ingestion into GCP and Salesforce Data Cloud. This is a role for someone who understands data architecture at scale, can generate clarity in complex environments, and can confidently drive a roadmap that delivers a robust, governed customer data model.

Following significant investment in our client's CRM and data transformation strategy, they need an experienced Data Architect who will own the data strategy, define the roadmap for the unified customer view, and ensure the data flowing into GCP and Salesforce is clean, structured and governed.

You'll work across Salesforce Data Cloud, Marketing Cloud and multiple upstream data sources bringing order, consistency and clarity to a multi-supplier, multi-platform environment. You'll create alignment across teams, influence with authority, and act as the single point of ownership for delivering a high-quality customer data model.

What You'll Be Doing:

• Leading the consolidation of all customer data into a single customer view used across the enterprise
• Defining and driving the roadmap for delivering the customer data model and governed data flows
• Ensuring all data is clean, structured and ready for ingestion into GCP pipelines and onward into Salesforce Data Cloud
• Establishing data quality, governance, identity resolution and metadata standards
• Working across Salesforce, GCP data engineering teams and integration partners to align on data requirements
• Bringing clarity, structure and direction to a complex, multi-supplier organisation
• Operating in an Agile, product-friendly delivery environment, shaping requirements and sequencing delivery
• Acting as the authoritative voice on customer data architecture and end-to-end data readiness

• Someone who has built a single customer view at scale multiple times in large, complex organisations.
• Strong background in data architecture, data modelling and enterprise data flows
• Hands-on understanding of Salesforce Data Cloud, Marketing Cloud, and complex CRM data ecosystems
• Solid experience with GCP (data ingestion, transformation, standardisation)
• Comfortable working across large organisations - ideally retail or logistics
• Ability to create and own the delivery roadmap, aligning multiple teams and suppliers
• Comfortable influencing stakeholders and driving decision-making with authority
