Our client, a national governing body undergoing a large-scale strategic transformation, is seeking a Senior Data Architect to provide architectural leadership across a major discovery and planning phase.
This is a high-visibility, architecture-led engagement supporting a multi-workstream programme covering operating model change, place-based planning, organisational capability, and technology and data modernisation. You'll work directly with senior stakeholders to shape the future-state architecture ahead of executive and Steering Committee decision-making.

You'll define the target business, data and technology architecture for the programme, assess current-state systems and integrations, and identify the capabilities needed to support strategic planning and decision-making at scale.
