Our client is undergoing a significant business and technology transformation, standardizing on Microsoft Azure as its primary cloud platform and building a new Unified Data Platform. As part of this initiative, they are seeking a Data Architect to act as a crucial internal leader. You will not be responsible for hands-on project execution, but rather will provide expert oversight for projects being delivered by their external partners. Your mission is to ensure these complex data projects are architected and delivered according to our precise technical standards and strategic goals, acting as our representative on the ground.
Core Platform Expertise: Deep, hands-on knowledge of Databricks as a primary data platform.

Corporate Acumen: Demonstrated experience working within large, complex corporate environments. You must be process-oriented and understand how to navigate a large enterprise effectively.

Architectural Oversight: Serve as the lead internal technical authority on data projects, reviewing partner-created architecture, code, and technical designs to ensure they align with our long-term vision and established guidelines.
Partner Governance: Actively participate in meetings with implementation partners and internal business stakeholders, monitoring progress and ensuring adherence to our operational principles.
Risk & Quality Management: Proactively identify and flag any deviations, risks, or quality concerns in partner deliverables, promptly alerting internal leadership to ensure corrective action can be taken.
