Job Description

Azure Data Architect - Azure / Databricks / Data Governance - Remote First

Are you the kind of Data Architect who can take a messy, noisy, slightly chaotic data landscape and wrap a proper layer of structure around it?

Maybe even enjoy it a bit?

This is a chance to step into a role where governance, strategy, and hands-on architecture all matter in equal measure. Right now, the business has huge amounts of data coming in from multiple parts of the organisation, but everything is pretty siloed.

Different teams. Different feeds. Different standards. Nothing centralised yet.

That is where you come in.

The goal is to build a unified data platform on Azure with Databricks at its core. Something that actually behaves like a proper, governed, scalable, AI-ready environment. You will lead the direction, shape the frameworks, and guide a team that will eventually include data engineers, data scientists, and data analysts sitting under you.

If you like being the person who steps in, sets the standard, and shows everyone what good looks like, this has your name all over it.

Primarily remote, the office is based in London, and you’ll need to be able to get there on occasion (once a month or so). You must be UK based for this position

What you will be doing:

  * Designing the overall data architecture and wrapping governance and frameworks around everything

  * Taking an unconsolidated, multi team data ecosystem and centralising it into one modern Azure and Databricks platform

  * Defining how tooling, ingestion, transformation, lineage, and quality all fit together

  * Leading a cross functional data team and setting technical direction

  * Working closely with product and engineering to make sure everything is scalable and commercially useful

  * Using Databricks properly, not just as a compute engine, but as the heart of an intelligence layer

  * Exploring where AI can add value such as Agent Bricks or Genie for smarter data insights

What we are looking for:

  * Solid Data Architect or Lead Data Engineer background

  * Deep experience with Azure, Databricks, SQL and all the plumbing that makes a modern data stack actually work

  * Someone who cares about data governance, frameworks, and getting things done the right way

  * Strong communicator who can influence decisions without steamrolling people

  * Experience consolidating data sources or building a centralised platform

  * Bonus points if you have played with AI or pushed teams to experiment

The bigger picture:

You will help bring together multiple streams of operational, product, and customer data that currently sit across separate environments. The mission is to unify everything into a single, governed platform that unlocks real insight and sets the foundation for advanced analytics and AI driven intelligence.

If you want a role where you can genuinely shape a data ecosystem and build something future ready rather than just maintain someone else’s blueprint, this is worth a conversation
