Job Specifications

We're looking for a Senior Data Architect to deliver a short, decision-focused engagement assessing the feasibility of centralising cyber security data and insights.

You'll own the end-to-end data architecture - from understanding the current data landscape through to shaping a clear path to MVP delivery.

Rate: Up to £600 / day Outside IR35

Location: Remote

Clearance: Active SC Clearance (essential)

Contract: 3 months (+extensions)

What you'll do

Assess priority cyber datasets for readiness, quality, sensitivity, ownership, and access constraints

Define what is MVP-ready, what needs remediation, and what belongs in a future state

Set clear architectural guardrails to guide MVP delivery, covering data centralisation vs federation, secure access, privacy, and metadata-led discovery

Advise pragmatically on tools and platforms, aligned to what's achievable within the engagement

Support proof-of-concept insights, ensuring assumptions, limitations, and reuse potential are clear

Contribute to a prioritised MVP backlog and provide a robust architecture handover

What you'll bring

Strong knowledge of data governance, sharing, lineage, and stewardship

Experience working in high-security or restricted data environments

Ability to translate technical constraints into clear, decision-ready advice

Confidence working with senior stakeholders and hands-on data teams

Background in mixed cloud/platform environments (e.g. Microsoft and Google)

The client are looking to get someone started next Monday (26th), so please don't hesitate to apply now!
