Shape the future of data for a leading Financial Services organisation
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.

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?
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.
