The Opportunity
We are supporting a major UK Government Agency in the appointment of an experienced Geospatial Data Architect to help define and govern the data models, standards and integration architecture underpinning a national geospatial and land data ecosystem.
You will play a central role in designing the frameworks and governance that support basemap development, land data modelling and data platform modernisation across a complex, multi-system environment.
This is an excellent opportunity for an accomplished data architect with deep geospatial expertise and public sector experience to influence national data strategy.
Skills and Experience
- Proven experience designing geospatial data architectures in large enterprise or public sector environments.
- Proficiency with EA Sparx for data modelling and architecture documentation.
- Deep knowledge of metadata and geospatial data standards (ISO 19115, INSPIRE and GEMINI).
- Understanding of coordinate reference systems, topology, geometry validation and data lineage.
- Experience conducting data quality and completeness assessments and implementing governance frameworks.
- Strong stakeholder engagement skills and the ability to operate within a structured architecture governance model.

- Conduct gap analyses between existing datasets and new platform requirements.
- Design and validate integration points, APIs and interoperability standards (including OGC-based).
