Data Architect | 6-Month Contract | London - Vauxhall (2 Days/Week Onsite) | £550–600/day Outside IR35

We’re looking for an experienced Data Architect to lead the data modelling strategy for a large-scale system integration project. This is a 6-month contract working on-site in Vauxhall two days per week, helping shape the future of a major data platform used by millions globally.

The company provides a market-leading credit and financial insights platform, enabling users to make better decisions and build stronger financial futures. You’ll join a highly collaborative, fast-moving environment where technology and data drive the user experience.

This Data Architect role is critical to the success of a project to merge two distinct data systems. You’ll define the end-state data architecture and guide a small team of Data Engineers responsible for migrations, pipelines, and infrastructure.

Your Responsibilities:

• Design the end-to-end architecture to unify two disparate data platforms into a scalable, coherent model.

• Collaborate with stakeholders to understand data usage, quality, and structure across systems.

• Guide and mentor a small team of Data Engineers on architectural decisions, standards, and best practices.

• Define and document the future-state data model and assist with implementation planning.

• Ensure architecture supports performance, scalability, security, and compliance requirements.

About You:

• Proven experience as a Data Architect, ideally with a background in engineering and platform migrations.

• Strong understanding of data modelling, system integration, and cloud-native architecture (AWS preferred).

• Familiar with Databricks and modern data pipelines, ETL processes, and data infrastructure.

• Able to translate complex technical challenges into clear solutions and architectural direction.

• Comfortable working hands-on in a dynamic, cross-functional team.

This Data Architect contract is a unique opportunity to own the architectural strategy behind a critical data unification project in a high-impact organisation.
