A leading bank have embarked on a mission of positive change and transformation to modernise everything data, analytics and AI related across the organisation. The core focus is about adding business value and driving the use of data forward to enable the organisation to achieve its strategic objectives.

Working exclusively with KDR Talent Solutions to grow their Chief Data Office and hire anEnterprise Data Architectwho can take a top down view starting with the business to build a world class enterprise data architecture!

The Company

In this case, it might sound too good to be true, but it's not! An amazing, recognisable brand, who are known for providing unbelievable experiences for their customers. This ethos filters into their employee culture so expect:

  • Predominantly remote working with regular business travel to their main Office locations

  • Incredible well-being benefits!
  • An amazing purpose and value lead approach to flexible working!

The Role

A role like this does not come around very often, if at all! This is an opportunity to take ownership of the strategy and delivery, of the enterprise data architecture tooling and processes.

You will need to bring the following to the table:

  • ExtensiveEnterprise Data Architecture or Enterprise Information Architectureexperience within banking. This means: You’ve been the enterprise level data architect and not a technology led or solution architect.
  • You are comfortable in engaging and managing stakeholders to board level…
  • …and equally comfortable working with solution architects, technical designers etc
  • Experience and background in delivery enterprise scale data architecture the tooling around it and the best practice in terms of standards and processes.
  • You'll be driving change and challenging with WHY?Enterprise Data Architecturehere starts with a business first approach.
  • Data Architecture– This role is not a solution architect or technical architecture position, it is an enterprise architecture role with a data specialism and as such you should have experience or certification in delivering to best practice frameworks such as TOGAF.

This is literally and quite possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who wants to get their name to a huge transformation as this organisation move from chaos to order and build a world class enterprise data architecture including a conceptual data model and architecture that spans the entire business.

The future is certainly interesting here as well and I would love to explain more about the impact you will have as the Enterprise Data Architect.

n.b. Technology is not mentioned in this advert – that is because it is an Enterprise Architecture role with data specialism. However, from a technology perspective the organisation is moving from a legacy 'spaghetti' estate primarily to Azure, leveraging other data technology such as Collibra for data quality and governance.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
