About the role

  • Work with Enterprise, Solution, and Business Architects to define the client’s data architecture baseline (domains, entities, owners, flows).
  • Identify and document key data sources, integrations, and reporting layers across core systems (ERP, project systems, engineering tools, etc.).
  • Design high-level conceptual and logical data models for priority domains (e.g. projects, assets, work orders, finance, risk, compliance).
  • Define data principles, standards, and guidelines (naming, keys, reference data, quality rules, retention).
  • Map data lineage for critical reports and interfaces, highlighting breaks, quality issues, and technical debt.
  • Provide data input into HLA/HLD designs for 1-2 pilot projects going through the new EA workflow.
  • Collaborate with Integration and Security Architects to ensure APIs, data services, and controls align with the target data architecture.
  • Contribute to the EA repository with clear, versioned data artefacts and diagrams.
  • Advise client teams on priorities for data improvement (master data, reporting, governance) and help shape a realistic data roadmap.

Requirements

  • 7+ years’ experience in Data Architecture, Data Modelling, or related roles.
  • Proven track record designing conceptual and logical data models for complex, multi-system environments.
  • Experience mapping data flows and lineage across transactional systems, integrations, and reporting platforms.
  • Strong understanding of data management practices: data quality, master data, reference data, metadata, retention, and ownership.
  • Hands-on exposure to at least one modern data and analytics platform (e.g. Azure Data Platform, SQL Server, Oracle, Snowflake, SAP BW/HANA, or similar).
  • Comfortable working with integration patterns (APIs, ETL/ELT, streaming) and collaborating closely with Integration Architects.
  • Able to explain data concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Excellent communication skills in English and comfortable working in a hybrid model (remote plus occasional on-site visits to Casablanca and/or London).
Benefits
  • Play a key role in defining the data foundations of a new Enterprise Architecture capability for a major engineering and project-delivery group.
  • Work in a small, senior team focused on practical outcomes rather than heavy bureaucracy.
  • Hybrid working model - remote by default, with targeted on-site trips to build strong relationships and run critical workshops.
  • Exposure to Intelance’s broader EA, Cybersecurity, and AI work and the chance to influence how data is treated across multiple clients.
  • Competitive compensation with options for freelance / Ltd company engagement or longer-term collaboration.
  • Direct access to Intelance leadership and the opportunity to help shape our data architecture methods and accelerators.
