Data Architect | Up to £120,000 | Hybrid (1 day/week in office)
We're moving fast on this one.
I'm working with a leading UK data and AI consultancy to find a Senior Data Architect — someone who wants to work on genuinely complex, high-impact programmes with some of the UK's most recognised organisations.

• Designing and delivering enterprise-scale Databricks Lakehouse solutions end-to-end

• Contributing to pre-sales — RFPs, PoCs, pitches
• Driving best practice around governance, security, CI/CD, and data quality
• Building reusable patterns that elevate the whole practice
What we're looking for:
• Deep, hands-on Databricks expertise (Lakehouse, Delta Lake, DLT, Workflows)
• Strong data engineering background — PySpark, Python, SQL, Spark
• Cloud experience on Azure, AWS, or GCP
• Confident stakeholder management — you can challenge and influence at any level
• Consulting or client-facing experience a strong advantage
Desirable extras:
• Terraform / Databricks Asset Bundles / CI/CD pipelines
• Databricks certifications (any level)
