The Role
At Canopius, our delivery teams are responsible for ensuring that business users can effectively harness data insights to drive strategic decision making.
Our data strategy is centred around an enterprise Lakehouse platform on Databricks, avoiding fragmented, ungoverned silos on legacy technologies that hamper creativity and scalability.
The Data Architect owns the end-to-end design and evolution of our enterprise data architecture, defining how data is stored, integrated, secured and managed across solutions.
The ideal candidate will be an experienced data architect who is excited by the opportunity to shape enterprise data standards, drive data re-use and interoperability across the organisation, and leverage modern technologies to simplify the data estate and unlock greater value from data.
You should be able to understand business problems and translate them into robust, efficient and well-governed data designs, including conceptual, logical and physical data models, while owning and maintaining data modelling standards and architecture principles.
You should be comfortable collaborating in project teams and cross-departmental squads including business analysts, data analysts, developers and solution architects to deliver business solutions.
The role also owns the end-to-end data architecture of our enterprise Lakehouse platform on Databricks, including data modelling, storage patterns, integration approaches, data sharing patterns and governance guardrails.
In addition, the role is responsible for shaping the future-state data architecture, supporting transition roadmaps, and driving simplification through the rationalisation of legacy data assets and technical debt.
The candidate should be a practical, delivery-focused architect with strong interpersonal skills and a proven track record of producing data architecture artefacts, shaping solution designs and working closely with delivery teams to implement robust data solutions.
This is a hybrid role working 2-3 days a week in our Manchester office.
