Lead Data Architect

5 Days Old

& ( )

Hybrid (UK-based)

ASAP Start - 2 month initial contract, extension up to 1 year

Outside IR35

We’re supporting a consultancy on a high-intensity discovery and diagnostic programme within a large, complex organisation.

The data sits across multiple platforms, pipelines and domains with limited standardisation or governance.

There’s strong ambition around AI but no clear definition of:

• what “AI” means in practice

• what use cases are viable

• or whether the data foundations can support it

Your role is to cut through the noise.

This is a fast-paced (2-month), high-impact engagement where you’ll:

• assess the current data landscape

• define what’s actually happening vs what’s assumed

• align stakeholders on realistic AI ambitions

• and identify the gaps, risks and opportunities to move forward

What We’re Looking For

Strong background in data architecture + platform assessment

Proven experience running data / AI discovery or diagnostic engagements

Ability to operate at both:

• strategic level (framing ambition, defining roadmap)

• hands-on level (interrogating pipelines, platforms, data flows)

Experience working in fragmented / legacy data environments

Strong understanding of AI readiness and realistic use case definition

Comfortable being client-facing in ambiguous environments

Experience within consultancies or similar advisory roles is highly valuable
