Job Summary As a Principal Data Architect, FSI, you will own the data architecture on engagements with financial services clients across banking, insurance, capital markets, and wealth management, embedded with their business and technology teams.

Demand for analytical products is outpacing client platforms. You’ll build both the products and the access, security, and delivery foundation that makes them trustworthy, deciding how regulated data is modelled, who sees what, and how it flows to decision-makers.

This is a financial services role first. A wrong figure is a client conversation, not a bug ticket. Entitlements are designed in from day one.



Messy source data gets reconciled, not papered over. And every decision becomes audit evidence.

You’ll lead project teams assembled per engagement, setting technical direction and carrying proven patterns forward

What you’ll get to do

Client-facing and executive reporting

Architect reporting products drawn directly from core operational and front office systems, replacing spreadsheet-assembled deliverables

Design the calculation and what-if modelling layers on top, covering performance, exposure, allocation, profitability, and scenario modelling

Build reporting that reconciles across sources, including benchmarking and peer comparison where the business needs external context

Self-service analytics for business teams

Give analysts and business users governed direct access to the warehouse so they stop queuing behind data requests

Design semantic and metric layers so key figures mean the same thing in every tool

Support board-level reporting and scenario planning built on the same governed definitions

Data-informed workflow optimization

Rewire client and product onboarding onto one clean, governed data flow

Restructure recurring operating cycles and their reporting around timely data rather than manual assembly

AI-supported workflows





Design the data and retrieval foundations for AI applied where the reading and preparation burden is heaviest, including due diligence, document deep dives, legal and transaction review, meeting preparation, and ongoing monitoring

Establish how unstructured material is ingested, chunked, secured, and cited so AI output is traceable back to source

Foundational architecture, access, and security Own the access and security layer everything above depends on: RBAC and entitlement strategy, identity management, row-level and column-level security, and data architecture validation

Establish DEV and PROD separation, API-based pipeline frameworks, code release automation, and security hardening as standard practice on the engagement

Design product-level cost attribution, monitoring, and alerting so consumption is understood and controlled per analytical product

Produce architecture decision records and control evidence that stand up to audit and client due diligence

Leadership and delivery

Analyze requirements with both technical and purely business-oriented stakeholders, and present proposed solutions credibly to business and finance leadership

Lead implementation efforts, oversee data engineers, and guarantee solution quality from the data architecture point of view

Suggest reusable patterns and process improvements to be applied across the organization

Plan tasks for self and others, participate in leading engagements, and mentor other engineers

Must-haves

Financial services delivery experience. You've built production data solutions inside banking, insurance, capital markets, or asset and wealth management, and you can speak to what changed because of the domain

Financial data fluency.
