Data Architect (Functional)

As a Data Architect, you will help define how data is designed, managed, and shared across the organization. You will work closely with business teams, IT, and the Data Office to ensure data models and flows comply with internal standards and regulations such as BCBS 239 and GDPR.

You will design and maintain data models, documentation, metadata, and data lineage, ensuring alignment with the Enterprise Data Model. The role also involves supporting data governance, security, and compliance, assessing new or changed IT systems, and ensuring proper data storage, protection, and exchange.

You will support project teams by embedding data governance practices, collaborating on data quality improvements, and working with architects, security, and IT teams. In addition, you will help manage application lifecycles, keep documentation up to date, and contribute to training and knowledge sharing.

You will be part of a global community of Data Architects, working in an international and collaborative environment with both business and IT stakeholders.
