BPX is hiring a Senior Data Architect as we build out a dedicated Data capability alongside our Intelligent Marketing practice. You will design the data foundations that sit underneath enterprise front-office programmes: the cloud data platform, the models and pipelines that feed it, and the flows that carry customer data out to CDPs, engagement platforms and analytics tools.
Tasks
- Lead discovery and assessment workshops with client data, IT and marketing stakeholders, translating business and marketing use cases into data requirements.
- Design target-state data architecture on cloud data platforms, covering ingestion, storage layers, data models, transformation and serving.
- Define customer data models and identity strategy that work across the warehouse, CDP and downstream engagement and analytics tools.
- Architect the integration between the data warehouse and marketing systems, including warehouse-native and zero-copy audience patterns, reverse ETL and event streaming.
- Assess and plan changes to existing data platforms, including impact analysis on downstream CDP, engagement and reporting flows.
- Set standards for data quality, lineage, security and access control, and design governance that meets GDPR and sector-specific requirements.
- Model data volumes, performance and platform consumption so clients can plan capacity and cost with confidence.
- Stay hands-on: review data models and pipeline code, build proofs of concept, and clear technical blockers for data engineers during delivery.
- Mentor data engineers and help shape BPX's Data capability, including delivery patterns, accelerators and reusable assets.
- Support pre-sales with scoping, estimation, solution shaping and technical credibility in client pitches.
Requirements
- Eight or more years in data engineering or data architecture, including at least three years designing enterprise data platforms end to end.
- Deep hands-on experience with Snowflake. SnowPro Advanced: Architect or equivalent certification is a distinct advantage.
- Working knowledge of at least one other major data platform, such as Databricks, BigQuery, Azure (Synapse or Fabric) or AWS (Redshift).
- Strong data modelling skills across dimensional, Data Vault or similar approaches, and expert SQL.
- Experience with modern data tooling for ingestion, transformation and orchestration, such as dbt, Fivetran, Airflow or equivalent, plus a working command of Python.
- Experience connecting data platforms to marketing and customer systems, ideally CDPs such as Twilio Segment, Adobe Real-Time CDP or Salesforce Data Cloud, and engagement platforms such as Braze.
- Practical grasp of data governance, security and privacy, including GDPR, consent data and role-based access.
- Consulting or agency background, credible in front of clients and able to explain architecture choices to marketers and engineers in the same room.
- Evidence of leading or mentoring data engineers on enterprise delivery.
- Fluent English and the right to work in an EMEA country where BPX operates.
