Data Architect – Outside IR35
- Contract: 6 months initial
- Location: Hybrid
- Day Rate: £525 – £550 p/d
- IR35: Outside
- Start: ASAP
We’re looking for an experienced Data Architect to join a complex data transformation programme focused on building secure, interoperable and well-governed data-sharing capabilities.
This role is particularly suited to a Data Architect with a strong background in data modelling, metadata, lineage, governance and secure data sharing, rather than someone focused purely on cloud infrastructure or data engineering.
You’ll work across business, security, architecture and engineering teams to establish how data is structured, classified, governed and securely shared across multiple systems and organisations.
The Role
As the Data Architect, you’ll define and evolve the data models and architectural standards that allow information to be consistently understood, governed and exchanged.
You’ll work across the full data lifecycle, covering schemas, attributes, classifications, metadata, ownership, provenance and lineage, while helping establish authoritative sources of truth.
A key element of the role will also involve supporting Policy-Based Access Control (PBAC), translating business and security requirements into appropriate data classifications, attributes and access policies.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and deliver data architecture, modelling and governance activities
- Develop conceptual, logical and physical data models
- Define data schemas, attributes, classifications, taxonomies and controlled vocabularies
- Establish clear data definitions, ownership, stewardship and sources of truth
- Define and manage metadata across complex data environments
- Map data lineage and provenance across sources, transformations and consumers
- Design scalable structures for secure and interoperable data sharing
- Translate business, security and governance requirements into architectural designs
- Support the design of PBAC and attribute-driven access controls
- Establish data governance principles, standards and processes
- Ensure data quality, consistency, integrity and traceability
- Support data migration, integration and transformation programmes
- Work closely with engineering teams to translate logical models into technical implementation
- Maintain architecture, metadata, lineage and governance documentation
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
