Role Summary
  • The Enterprise Data Architect defines and enables the shared data foundation that ensures consistent understanding of core business entities across the enterprise.
  • This role translates business concepts into reusable enterprise models, authoritative definitions, and contextual frameworks that accelerate decision-making, improve data product delivery, and ensure AI and analytics solutions operate on trusted, aligned data.
  • By establishing a common language for data, this role reduces ambiguity, strengthens cross-domain alignment, and enables teams to deliver faster with confidence.

  • Cross-domain data conflicts are resolved quickly with clear decisions
  • Teams spend less time reconciling data and more time delivering business value

  • Partner with Data Product Management and delivery teams to embed enterprise context into design
  • Ensure data context is usable and reliable for AI, analytics, and semantic layers
  • Ensure alignment between data products and enterprise models without slowing delivery

  • Support the operationalization of data context in catalogs, semantic layers, and data products

Key Deliverables

  • Demonstrated experience developing conceptual and logical data models across multiple business domains.
  • Strong ability to translate business language into precise definitions, entities, relationships, and reusable data structures.
  • Experience facilitating cross-functional alignment with business SMEs, data architects, analysts, engineers, product managers, and governance stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with metadata management, data catalogs, data governance, data products, and data quality concepts.
  • Strong written communication skills, including the ability to produce clear model documentation and decision records.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with enterprise modeling tools, metadata repositories, catalog platforms, or knowledge graph / ontology patterns.
  • Experience with domain-driven design, master data, reference data, canonical models, semantic layers, or data contracts.
  • Familiarity with AI grounding, RAG, vector search, or ontology integration patterns.
  • CDMP, DAMA, TOGAF, or comparable data architecture / data management certification.

Success Measures
