Are you a seasoned Data Architect who thrives on taking full ownership of data management, from initial architectural design and strategic governance to hands-on implementation?

We are partnering with a high-growth, globally active organisation for a pivotal leadership role.

This position is strategically focused (mostly hands-off) but requires deep technical expertise and a willingness to be hands-on when needed to ensure successful delivery.

You will be accountable for the entire data ecosystem lifecycle:

Responsibilities

  • Architectural Design & Strategy: Lead the definition of the central data layer and its flow across critical enterprise systems.
  • Implementation & Delivery: Oversee and drive the practical implementation of the data solution alongside the team, ensuring successful deployment.
  • Technology Stack Ownership: Own the data technology stack, leveraging the Microsoft/Azure Ecosystem (PowerBI, Fabric ideally) and flexible Cloud Data Platforms (Databricks or Snowflake acceptable).
  • Governance & Scalability: Define and enforce policies to ensure the data layer is secure, scalable, and robust across the full product lifecycle.
  • Technical Execution: Utilise your expertise in SQL and Python to solve complex challenges and maintain technical excellence.

What You Need

  • 8+ years delivering complex data solutions, with proven experience across the full design-to-delivery lifecycle.
  • Deep expertise in the Microsoft Data Stack (Azure, PowerBI, SQL) and Cloud Data Platforms (Fabric, Databricks, or Snowflake).
  • High proficiency in SQL and Python.
  • Expertise in Dimensional Modelling and defining robust Data Governance.
  • Proven ability to lead strategy, mentor teams, and remain comfortable with hands-on technical work when required.

What’s On Offer

  • A challenging and highly autonomous role with full accountability for the data strategy.
  • Hybrid Working: Flexible mix of in-office/home working in Oxfordshire
  • Excellent Benefits including Private Medical Insurance and Pension.
