• Lead architecture decisions across ingestion, storage, modelling and consumption
• Shape data governance, lineage, quality and security frameworks

• Experience designing cloud-based data architectures
• Strong knowledge of data governance, controls and regulatory requirements
• Experience working in or closely with, consulting or transformation teams
• Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and leadership teams

Experience enabling AI and advanced analytics through data architecture is important; hands-on model development is not.
