Job Description

Shape the future of data for a leading Financial Services organisation

Is this your next job Read the full description below to find out, and do not hesitate to make an application.

Data is becoming one of the most valuable assets in financial services, and this is an opportunity to define how a global organisation uses it for years to come.


We're partnering with a leading Financial Services organisation investing heavily in its technology and data capabilities, with Edinburgh at the centre of that journey. As part of a major digital transformation programme, they're looking for a Lead Data Architect to take ownership of their enterprise data strategy and help build a modern, cloud-native data platform that will support business-critical operations, analytics and decision-making across the globe.


This isn't a role where you'll simply maintain what's already there. You'll be shaping the future state, influencing senior stakeholders, defining architecture standards and helping create a data platform capable of supporting a complex international business operating at significant scale.

What you'll be doing



  • Defining the long-term vision and roadmap for enterprise data architecture


Leading the design of a modern cloud-based data platform built on Microsoft technologies


Driving best practice across data governance, engineering, analytics, visualisation and master data management


Partnering with senior business and technology leaders to align data strategy with business objectives


Influencing key architecture decisions across multiple programmes and product teams


Helping establish data as a trusted, strategic asset across the organisation




What we're looking for



  • Proven experience in Data Architecture within large, complex organisations


Strong expertise across Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Power BI and modern data platforms


Excellent understanding of data engineering, analytics, governance and data management principles


Experience designing enterprise-scale cloud and SaaS data solutions


Ability to engage, influence and challenge senior stakeholders


Background within Financial Services, FinTech or similarly regulated environments




Why consider this role? xwwtmva



  • Opportunity to lead enterprise-wide Data Architecture rather than a single programme


Significant investment in modern data technologies and platforms


High-profile role with visibility across senior leadership teams


Join a growing technology hub in Edinburgh with ambitious expansion plans


Flexible hybrid working environment


Strong culture of learning, development and career progression


Chance to play a key role in a global transformation programme



If you're a Data Architect who enjoys setting strategy, influencing technology direction and building modern data capabilities at scale, this is an opportunity to make a genuine impact within a globally recognised Financial Services organisation.
