Founding Senior Data Architect — Microsoft Fabric | Global Sustainability Consultancy
📍 Hybrid, City of London (2 days/week) | 💰 Up to £120,000 + bonus & benefits
Here's an opportunity you don't see twice: the chance to be the first Senior Data Architect at a globally recognised leader in sustainability consulting, building their enterprise data platform from a blank page.
Their UK data practice is brand new. There's no legacy stack to untangle, no years of technical debt to inherit — just a genuine blank canvas and a mandate to do it properly from day one.
What you'll be doing
- You'll lead the architecture of a Microsoft Fabric-based enterprise data platform, built on metadata-driven principles with governance and data quality baked in from the start rather than bolted on later.
- This isn't a purely strategic role sitting above the work — you'll be hands-on in designing and supporting the build of the platform and its data products, while also helping shape and grow the wider data practice as it scales.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Why this one's different
- First of your kind. You're not slotting into an existing team structure — you're setting the technical direction and standards that the practice will be built on.
- Real mission, not just mission statement. This is sustainability consultancy at global scale — the data platform you build will directly underpin the work they do for clients on genuinely consequential problems.
- Fabric, done right. A rare chance to architect a Microsoft Fabric platform from first principles, rather than retrofitting governance onto someone else's decisions.
- Growth on your terms. As the practice expands, so does your remit — this is a founding role with room to shape what comes next.

What we're looking for
- A senior data architect with strong Microsoft Fabric (or equivalent modern data platform) experience, a genuine grasp of metadata-driven design and data governance, and — just as importantly — the appetite to build something from scratch rather than maintain what's already there.
