Data Architect

Our requirements

• Substantial experience in data or solution architecture within implementations, professional services or consulting, ideally around ERP, construction, or another operationally complex vertical, with a track record of owning the data workstream on enterprise-scale projects
• Deep technical grounding in SQL, data modelling and ETL, you direct the work credibly because you've done it yourself, and you can still open the hood when a migration decision hinges on the detail
• Strong architectural instincts: you can take an undocumented legacy system or a sprawling customer landscape and produce a clean, defensible target model from it
• Authority in the room with customers, comfortable leading discovery workshops with commercial directors and CFOs, presenting architecture decisions to IT leadership, and holding your ground when a customer's preferred approach won't serve them
• A pragmatic streak: you architect for the deadline and the business outcome in front of you, and you know when 95% migrated and validated beats 100% stuck in analysis
• High standards on data quality and governance, you set the bar others deliver to, and you treat a customer's cost data with the seriousness it deserves
• Documentation and specification skills strong enough that consultants and engineers can execute from your artefacts without guessing
• Experience mentoring or directing the work of consultants, analysts or engineers, even without formal line management

Optional

• Experience with construction industry data: cost codes, WBS structures, valuations, CVRs, subcontractor ledgers
• Familiarity with the systems landscape our customers come from (Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, legacy construction ERPs)
• Integration architecture experience: APIs, webhooks, iPaaS platforms
• Experience establishing methodology or practice standards at a scaling SaaS company

Your responsibilities

• Owning the data workstream of every implementation end to end, from first discovery through go-live sign-off, as the senior authority on how customer data enters and flows through Archdesk
• Leading data discovery with customer stakeholders: assessing their systems landscape, data maturity and structures, and defining the migration and integration strategy for each account
• Designing the target data architecture for each customer: how their business model maps onto Archdesk's modules, projects, costs, budgets, procurement, assets, documents, and making the judgment calls when their world and ours don't line up one-to-one
• Producing the architectural artefacts that govern each implementation: entity relationship diagrams, data dictionaries, mapping specifications and integration specs that implementation consultants and engineers execute from
• Directing the transformation and migration effort, defining the approach, standards and validation criteria, and coordinating the consultants, engineers and customer-side teams who carry it out
• Setting the quality bar: designing the validation and reconciliation framework that determines when migrated data is signed off as trustworthy
• Defining integration architecture for ongoing data flows between Archdesk and the customer's wider systems (accounting, payroll, estimating, BIM), and overseeing delivery with our engineering team
• Building the implementation practice itself: turning project work into reusable methodology, mapping frameworks, playbooks per source system, standards, so the team scales and each implementation gets faster than the last
• Acting as a trusted advisor to customer finance, commercial and IT leadership on data strategy, and channelling what you see in the field back into Archdesk's product roadmap
