We need a Senior Data Architect to accelerate AI and data solution delivery in private banking. You’ll shape a centralized, metadata-driven platform enabling self-service analytics and AI on Azure (Synapse, Fabric, Azure AI). Copilot experience is a plus. Partnering with the Lead Architect and wider team, you’ll drive small initiatives, remove delivery barriers, and ensure governance and compliance.

- Architect a centralized, metadata-driven platform with built-in data quality, governance, and lineage.
- Leverage Microsoft Fabric to enable self-service analytics across business units.
- Work with Azure AI solutions to support AI/ML-driven use cases; exposure to the Copilot ecosystem is a plus.
- Strengthen data cataloging and discovery using Microsoft Purview.
- Support the transformation and repointing of the regulatory platform within existing architecture.
- Ensure hyperscale SQL and other solutions align with compliance and operational needs.
- Translate complex technical requirements into actionable solutions while maintaining alignment with governance policies and business goals.
- Collaborate with technical and business stakeholders, mentoring teams and guiding solution design.
- Balance hands-on technical delivery with broader strategic and architectural responsibilities.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- Proven experience as a Senior or Lead Data Architect, particularly in Microsoft Azure environments.
- Demonstrated success in delivering AI and data solutions in complex, regulated settings.
- Deep technical expertise across Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse, Fabric, and Purview.
- Familiarity with Azure AI services and the Copilot ecosystem (desirable but not essential).
- Strong background in data governance, metadata management, and quality frameworks.
- Ability to move between technical deep dives and strategic, business-oriented discussions.
- Agile mindset, comfortable working in small, fast-paced teams and wearing multiple hats.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills.
Engagement details
This is a high-priority 6-month contract with a clear roadmap and secured budget. You’ll be joining a high-performing team at a pivotal time in their AI and data transformation journey.
If you're a hands-on, delivery-driven Data Architect who thrives in both technical and governance landscapes, we want to hear from you.
