Senior EDW Data Architect

We are looking for a Senior EDW Data Architect for our Fortune 500 client and their banking client. We're looking for a hands-on architect with deep experience designing and delivering enterprise data warehouse solutions on Teradata , ideally within the Teradata Financial Services Data Model and an Inmon-style integrated EDW. The role combines solution architecture, governance, and stakeholder alignment with real hands-on work. Roughly 50% of the role is hands-on: SQL investigation, detailed data analysis, solution validation, and delivery support. This is not a purely strategic architecture position.

This is a long-term remote-first contract position in the EU with occasional on-site participation in client workshops.

Responsibilities

• Own and support data architecture design for enterprise data warehouse delivery.
• Analyse source data, data flows, business requirements, and downstream consumption needs.
• Perform Teradata SQL investigation, detailed technical analysis, and solution validation.
• Work with business stakeholders, domains, engineers, testers, delivery leads, and peer architects to resolve queries and align on solution direction.
• Assess design options and recommend pragmatic, scalable, standards-aligned solutions.
• Produce and maintain architecture artefacts: High Level Designs, Architecture Design Decisions, solution options, design rationale, assumptions, risks, and governance-ready packs.
• Present designs and recommendations to Architecture Boards and governance forums to secure alignment and approval.
• Embed data governance, metadata, lineage, controls, reconciliation, auditability, privacy, and regulatory compliance into solution design, including metadata-driven delivery frameworks.
• Support delivery teams through build, testing, implementation, and issue resolution.

Work Conditions

• Start Date : October
• Location : Remote in the EU
• Long-term contract-based role: PO till December 2026 with extension to 2027
