We are recruiting a Data Architect (DA) who will be responsible for the design and implementation of this data platform, ensuring that data systems are structured efficiently to support business objectives, enhance decision‑making capabilities, and improve the overall customer experience.
The role bridges the business process transformation led by an external consultant and technical execution, supporting both short‑term reporting and longer‑term analytical use‑cases such as advanced customer reporting/analytics, churn prevention, upsell prioritization, and product rationalization. Initially this will be a 6‑12 month fixed‑term contract.

* Focus in the first 3–6 months on selecting and implementing an Azure‑based platform (warehouse/lakehouse, ingestion, orchestration, transformation, quality).
* Collaborate closely with external consultants to design and operationalise the core data model around customers, products, contracts, billing, usage, and related concepts to support initial reporting needs.
* Build data pipelines from systems such as Salesforce and NetSuite.
* Deliver a solid foundation for financial and operational reporting (ARR, CARR, FX, churn, product usage, etc).
* Liaise with Finance, Sales/Ops, Product, and other areas of the company to understand advanced needs or requirements beyond short‑term reporting.
Core Capabilities
* Design and justify a modern data platform architecture, selecting among Azure Data Lake, Synapse or Fabric, Data Factory, Databricks, Snowflake, dbt, Power BI, etc.
* Design and validate a data flow between systems to ensure a master view of data for each business concept across the company.
* Balance performance, maintainability, and cost.
* At least 5 years of data engineering experience working with complex data environments.
* Deep understanding of dimensional and normalized modelling; design flexible data models for business concepts.
* Practical experience integrating and building data pipelines for CRM/Billing systems, ideally Salesforce and NetSuite; understand object models such as accounts, opportunities, orders, invoices, subscriptions.
* Hands‑on experience designing modular pipelines with version control, CI/CD, and data validation checks; understand data ownership/governance.
* Experience designing BI applications and connecting to data platforms; basic customer analytics for commercial purposes.
* Strong analytical thinking and problem‑solving skills; ability to interpret complex data and communicate findings to non‑technical stakeholders.
* Passionate about data and its ability to drive business decisions and enhance customer experiences.
Strategic And Business Competencies
* Excellent written and verbal communication; influence at all levels of the organization.
* Translate between technical and business audiences, explaining constraints, trade‑offs, and options in practical business terms.
* Experience working alongside or managing external consultants, ideally in process transformation projects.
* Experience in post‑M&A environments; unify data from acquired companies and reconcile differences in system structure and taxonomies.
* Experience with reporting needs of B2B software companies; understand metrics such as ARR, CARR, churn, FX exposure, contract renewals, and license utilisation.
