Finance Semantic & Snowflake Data Architect
The Finance Semantic & Snowflake Data Architect will define and govern the Finance semantic model that connects Snowflake data assets with Finance business meaning. The role owns the semantic model, ontology, metadata approach, data-consumption patterns, and reusable calculation patterns for MTD, QTD and YTD, including the approach for approximately 200 General Ledger measures. The role will also establish an AI-ready data foundation, enable model-based analytics, and support agent integration using Snowflake semantic capabilities and the COCO SDK.
Requirements
- 15+ years of overall experience in enterprise data architecture, data warehousing, analytics or Finance technology.
- Demonstrated experience architecting Finance data platforms and semantic layers for GL, P&L, Revenue, Spend or management-reporting domains.
- Strong experience with Snowflake architecture, advanced data modelling, semantic models and governed analytical consumption.
- Experience defining business ontologies, metadata models, lineage and data-governance operating practices.
- Proven ability to work with senior Finance, data, architecture, governance and engineering stakeholders in a regulated environment.
- Bachelor's or master's degree in computer science, Information Systems, Engineering, Finance Technology or a related discipline.
- Snowflake architecture or advanced data engineering certification is preferred.
- Data governance, enterprise architecture or cloud architecture certification is advantageous.
