Your Impact This role sits at the heart of the Data Analytics function, shaping the solution architecture that supports analytics, operational data management, master data management, and selected data migration initiatives. As the organisation rationalises a diverse data landscape into a simplified, modern platform, you will help design and guide the transition to a metadata‑driven architecture built on Microsoft Fabric. Working closely with peers across the data team, you will apply strong architectural principles to improve consistency, scalability, and delivery effectiveness.This role focuses on the data solutions that enable the Analytics team to deliver value, rather than owning a broader enterprise‑wide data architecture mandate.

- Assess proposed changes, enhancements, and new technologies, ensuring alignment with the organisation’s Enterprise Architecture strategy.
- Act as the primary interface between the Data Analytics team and the Enterprise Architecture function.

What You Need to Succeed
- Strong knowledge of Microsoft Fabric or comparable modern data platforms, with hands‑on experience designing analytical data solutions.
- Proven experience implementing metadata‑driven architectures, including the use of dynamic SQL and reusable design patterns.
- A deep technical background across data warehousing, analytics, master data management, and data integration.
- The ability to simplify, standardise, and clearly communicate complex technical concepts and architectural decisions.
- Comfort operating in fast‑paced, evolving environments, setting direction with incomplete information and delivering progress with constrained resources.
- Practical experience across data migration, data integration technologies, database platforms, and business intelligence or reporting tools.
