Enterprise Data Architect
Enterprise Data Architect (Manager & Senior Manager)
Location: Northern Ireland, UK (Hybrid)
Salary: Competitive + Bonus + Excellent Benefits
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a growing Data & AI Consulting team that partners with large enterprise organisations to deliver complex digital transformation programmes.
This is a client-facing role where you'll work with organisations to define how data should be structured, governed and managed across the entire business. Rather than focusing on a single application or platform, you'll help shape enterprise-wide data architecture, supporting organisations as they modernise their technology landscape and prepare for future AI initiatives.
You'll work alongside Data Engineers, AI specialists and business stakeholders, providing architectural direction and helping clients solve complex data challenges.
The Role
As an Enterprise Data Architect, you'll play a key role in designing enterprise-wide data models and supporting large-scale transformation programmes from strategy through to delivery.
You'll engage directly with senior stakeholders, facilitate workshops, translate business requirements into enterprise data architecture and work closely with technical delivery teams to ensure successful implementation.
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.
