Data Architect

The Data Integration Architect is responsible for defining and governing our client’s enterprise data flow architecture. This role focuses on how data moves, transforms, is governed, and becomes trusted across systems to support operational excellence, reporting, analytics, automation, and emerging AI capabilities.

While integration technologies are part of the landscape, the primary emphasis of this role is establishing scalable, reusable, and observable data movement patterns aligned to business domains. This architect ensures enterprise data is treated as a strategic asset-structured, documented, secured, and designed for long-term sustainability rather than one-off project solutions.

This role requires strong communication and documentation skills to translate complex data architecture concepts into clear standards, reference designs, and actionable guidance for technical teams and business stakeholders., * Define enterprise data flow architecture across operational, ERP, analytical, and external systems, emphasizing scalable, reusable, and domain-aligned patterns.

• Establish standards for data movement and modeling, including ingestion, transformation, synchronization, canonical models, and data contracts.
• Promote data-as-a-product and governance practices, covering data ownership, quality, lineage, documentation, versioning, and lifecycle management.
• Enable analytics and AI initiatives by ensuring data is trusted, accessible, well-structured, and securely governed.
• Ensure security, reliability, and compliance through resilient, monitored, and privacy-aware data movement designs aligned with DR and continuity requirements.
