Data Architect - 12 Month FTC (we have office locations in Cambridge, Leeds and London)

Data Architect (Transformation Programme)

Intelance is a specialist consultancy in Enterprise Architecture, Cybersecurity, and AI. We are building a lean, senior team to stand up a new Enterprise Architecture function for a major engineering and project-delivery group in North Africa. We are looking for an experienced Data Architect to define data domains, models, and principles, map key data flows, and support our architects with clear, practical guidance on data lineage and integration.


Tasks

  • Work with Enterprise, Solution, and Business Architects to define the client’s data architecture baseline (domains, entities, owners, flows).
  • Identify and document key data sources, integrations, and reporting layers across core systems (ERP, project systems, engineering tools, etc.).
  • Design high-level conceptual and logical data models for priority domains (e.g. projects, assets, work orders, finance, risk, compliance).
  • Define data principles, standards, and guidelines (naming, keys, reference data, quality rules, retention).
  • Map data lineage for critical reports and interfaces, highlighting breaks, quality issues, and technical debt.
  • Provide data input into HLA/HLD designs for 1-2 pilot projects going through the new EA workflow.
  • Collaborate with Integration and Security Architects to ensure APIs, data services, and controls align with the target data architecture.
  • Contribute to the EA repository with clear, versioned data artefacts and diagrams.
  • Advise client teams on priorities for data improvement (master data, reporting, governance) and help shape a realistic data roadmap.

Requirements

  • 7+ years’ experience in Data Architecture, Data Modelling, or related roles.
  • Proven track record designing conceptual and logical data models for complex, multi-system environments.
  • Experience mapping data flows and lineage across transactional systems, integrations, and reporting platforms.
  • Strong understanding of data management practices: data quality, master data, reference data, metadata, retention, and ownership.
  • Hands‑on exposure to at least one modern data and analytics platform (e.g. Azure Data Platform, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, SAP BW/HANA, or similar).
  • Comfortable working with integration patterns (APIs, ETL/ELT, streaming) and collaborating closely with Integration Architects.
  • Able to explain data concepts clearly to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication skills in English and comfortable working in a hybrid model (remote plus occasional on‑site visits to Casablanca and/or London).

Nice to have



  • Experience in engineering, construction, energy, utilities, or other project‑driven industries.
  • Knowledge of BI/reporting tools (e.g. Power BI) and how reports should be designed on top of well‑structured models.
  • Familiarity with data governance frameworks and tools (data catalogues, business glossaries).
  • French language skills and/or experience working with Francophone or North African clients.
  • Previous work alongside Enterprise Architecture teams or within an EA‑governed environment.

Benefits

  • Play a key role in defining the data foundations of a new Enterprise Architecture capability for a major engineering and project‑delivery group.
  • Work in a small, senior team focused on practical outcomes rather than heavy bureaucracy.
  • Hybrid working model - remote by default, with targeted on‑site trips to build strong relationships and run critical workshops.
  • Exposure to Intelance’s broader EA, Cybersecurity, and AI work and the chance to influence how data is treated across multiple clients.
  • Competitive compensation with options for freelance / Ltd company engagement or longer‑term collaboration.
  • Direct access to Intelance leadership and the opportunity to help shape our data architecture methods and accelerators.

If you are a Data Architect who enjoys turning messy, scattered data into clear models, lineage, and principles that drive real decisions, we would like to hear from you.


Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a brief introductory call, followed by a practical case discussion with the Intelance team.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
