Shape the future of data for a leading Financial Services organisation.
Data is becoming one of the most valuable assets in financial services, and this is an opportunity to define how a global organisation uses it for years to come.
We're partnering with a leading Financial Services organisation investing heavily in its technology and data capabilities, with Edinburgh at the centre of that journey.
As part of a major digital transformation programme, they're looking for a Lead Data Architect to take ownership of their enterprise data strategy and help build a modern, cloud-native data platform that will support business-critical operations, analytics and decision-making across the globe.
This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain what's already there. You'll be shaping the future state, influencing senior stakeholders, defining architecture standards and helping create a data platform capable of supporting a complex international business operating at significant scale.
