• Drive data governance, modelling, lineage, quality, and validation frameworks to support scalable, reliable, and business-ready data outcomes

• Partner with business, technology, finance, analytics, and migration teams to identify data impacts, manage dependencies, and embed data considerations into delivery planning and execution

• Shape the future of MECCA’s data ecosystem by guiding data platform, warehousing, integration, and transformation patterns that support analytics, AI, and enterprise decision-making

• Influence enterprise architecture and business outcomes by translating complex data challenges into clear, actionable insights while establishing strong data architecture practices and standards across the organisation

What You Will Bring:

Essential

• 7+ years experience in data-focused roles

• Proven experience delivering data architecture in complex enterprise environments

• Experience delivering complex data migration, integration, and reporting workstreams within large-scale transformation programs

• Strong experience in data modelling, data governance, and data quality management

• Experience working with modern data platforms (data warehouse, ETL/ELT, integration layers)

• Ability to define and manage data impacts across multiple systems and workstreams

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical and business stakeholders

• Experience working with external vendors, system integrators, and delivery partners

Preferred
