I am super excited to be working with an awesome Consultancy who are on the lookout for a seasonsed Data Architect to work on a high-profile transformation programme for a leading Financial Services client.

As an Azure expert, you will be able to come in and undertake a full review of their current data warehouses, processes and storage. The initial part of the contract will be a discovery piece focused on information gathering, loads of stakeholder engagement, data-flow discovery and a maturity assessment. You'll be able to give a solid review of internal artefacts including data models, reports, Azure architecture diagrams and documentation. You will essentially then provide a Data strategy alongside a road-map (a sequenced plan to move from current to future state) and then recommend data principles, a data quality model and governance roles.

Naturally you will have a proven track record in Data Architect with a solid understanding of Azure and data warehousing having worked on similar discovery pieces for enterprise-clients.

Whilst this is an initial 10 week piece of work the expectation is that this first engagement could just be the beginning as the consultancy they will likely stay on to deliver a whole raft of recommendations on this transformation programme.

You'll work alongside a cracking CTO who really knows his stuff and is incredibly passionate about solid Delivery and exceptional service to their client portfolio!

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.
