Key skills for this role
We are look for a Enterprise Data Architect / Data Strategist, that ideally understands the governance / op models of using externally licensed data within and throughout an organisation, where data provisioning (i.e. contracts), content coverage, and delivery speed (ultra low latency) is paramount. They should understand modern data structures such as the differences between a centralised data lake and a data mesh and can translate how these technical choices impact the business operating model.
They should have a blend of technical and commercial skills/characteristics:
Stakeholder Diplomacy: The capacity to manage the inherent tension between the end product users (in this case trading desk) and a potentially standardising CIO function.
Decoupled Architecture Design: The technical proficiency to design logical architectures and conceptual data models that are entirely agnostic of the underlying cloud provider, ensuring the outputs remain valid regardless of who ultimately owns the technology stack.
Capital Markets Expertise (would suggest this is preferred rather than essential): A profound understanding of the trading lifecycle, allowing them to engage credibly with Quants and Risk Managers regarding the governance of proprietary IP and market feeds. Capital markets is a tough one to find, but perhaps throwing the net wider to Financial Services (IB's etc etc) will help.

The Client Strategy: Ensuring it is fit-for-purpose in a complex, real-time environment.
The Evolution Roadmap: A clear path from legacy constraints to the "North Star" vision.
The Execution Plan: Developing the blueprint for the next phase of work, which this role is intended to help lead or execute.
