Associate Distinguished Engineer - Senior Data Leader

We are looking for a senior data leader who has built enterprise data platforms, master data management and semantic layers at real scale — more than once — and who can sit across the table from client data leadership as a thinking partner in the morning and be in the modelling detail with the delivery team that afternoon. This is not an advisory role with a delivery team attached. It is a hands-on leadership role with a seat at the strategy table.

Responsibilities

Act as a thinking partner to client data leadership; Hands-on leadership in modelling detail with the delivery team; Hold a seat at the strategy table; Design and deliver enterprise data platforms, MDM and semantic layers

Requirements

15+ years in data, with the last several in senior architecture or data leadership roles; At least two MDM programmes taken to production, with accountability for match, merge and survivorship decisions; At least three enterprise data platform builds delivered end to end at large, complex organisations; Experience designing and landing a semantic layer or shared business ontology used by more than one business unit; Track record of making the case for foundation work to executive stakeholders; Experience in environments where data arrived through acquisition and accretion rather than design; Snowflake at a deep level (architecture, performance, cost, governance, data sharing); Reltio in production, or equivalent enterprise MDM (Informatica, Stibo, Tamr); Collibra (catalog, lineage, policy, workflow, adoption); Soda, Great Expectations or equivalent, implemented as enforced pipeline controls; Hands-on AWS and Google Cloud; Dimensional and data-vault modelling; dbt; Orchestration; Streaming and batch
