Contract Data Architect

Ncounter is supporting a highly regarded, transformation-led consultancy delivering data-driven change across Defence and wider public sector programmes. This Data Architect role sits within a senior, delivery-focused Scrum team, shaping how critical organisations design, govern, and exploit their data at scale.

You’ll work across high-impact Defence programmes where data architecture, cloud analytics, and cross-government digital services are central. This is a hands-on advisory role, suited to someone who can engage confidently with senior stakeholders, influence technical direction, and deliver pragmatic, well-structured data solutions from day one. If you enjoy seeing your work directly enable better operational and decision-making outcomes, this role offers real substance.

Key experience required:

• 5+ years’ experience in Data Architecture, with exposure across business, application, and infrastructure layers

• Proven consultancy background, comfortable operating in client-facing environments

• Strong delivery history within Defence or complex public sector programmes

• Excellent stakeholder management and clear, confident communication skills

• Multi-cloud experience, particularly Azure and AWS

• Experience supporting technology procurement and supplier engagement

• Hands-on knowledge of Power BI, Qlik Sense, and big data platforms

• Involvement in large-scale business transformation or change initiatives

A varied programme background and a STEM degree are beneficial, but adaptability, sound judgement, and the ability to operate at pace are more important.

Candidates must already hold active DV Clearance.
