Senior Data Engineer / Data Architect

Role: Senior Data Engineer / Data Architect

Salary: Up to £85,000, plus £5,000 annual bonus

Technology - Azure Platform, DataBricks, PowerBI

Location: Warrington

Working Pattern: Hybrid - 2 days a week in the office.

The Role:

This is a great new role for either a Senior Data Engineer, wanting to make a step towards architecture, or, a hand's on data architect who is still very much a do'er.

You will be the Data Engineer / Architect for the business so this is a design and execute role, you will need to be happy to roll sleeves up and do some technical work alongside ownership of the architecture piece. The system is large, the company is a global business and there systems are already in a good shape, this is not like some roles I have seen where "everything is in a mess and we need someone to fix" - everything her is in place for the successful person to deliver.

In addition to the MS Technologies, they also have Salesforce and SAP in the business and a large amount of data is moved and out of those systems so experience in this area would definitely be an advantage.

This role is high profile, we are looking for someone to work with SLT, board members and international stakeholders. You will need to be confident and comfortable engaging in conversations and high level decision making.

Please note - this is not a remote position, it is hybrid in the office, 2 days a week but there is quite a lot of flexibility to that.

Responsibilities:

• Own and evolve the enterprise data architecture - defining data models, integration patterns, and standards that scale with the business.
• Design secure, resilient data solutions across cloud and on-premises environments, ensuring they are fit for purpose today and adaptable for tomorrow.
• Act as the bridge between business stakeholders, analytics teams, and engineering - translating commercial requirements into robust, well-reasoned architectural designs.
• Set the standard for data governance, data quality, metadata management, and master data management - and hold the organisation to it.
• Ensure all data practices meet security, privacy, and regulatory obligations, proactively identifying and mitigating compliance risk.
• Provide architectural leadership and assurance across data programmes, guiding teams to make the right design decisions at every stage.
• Assess, recommend, and champion the right data technologies, tools, and platforms - balancing innovation with pragmatism.
• Lead and support data migration, modernisation, and transformation initiatives, bringing structure and clarity to complex change.
• Produce clear, consistent documentation of data architectures, models, and design decisions that serve as a lasting reference for the organisation.
• Identify opportunities to commercialise data insights through automation and process efficiency - turning data into measurable business value.
• Align data architecture with global systems requirements and regulatory evolution, ensuring enabling technology delivers maximum business impact.

Requirements:

• Azure Environment
• Strong, well - rounded data engineering skillset.
