Our approach has driven significant growth, and with exciting plans ahead, now is the perfect time to join our team.
Responsibilities
-
Data & Analytics Architecture
- Define, document, and maintain the target Data & Analytics architecture, covering data domains, ingestion pipelines, analytics layers, and access patterns.
- Contribute to the definition of architectural guardrails that explain what teams must do-not just what they must avoid.
- Provide approved (“golden path”) patterns for data ingestion, analytics, and reporting aligned with security, privacy, and governance requirements.
-
Common Domain & Canonical Modelling
- Define and govern the Common Domain Model, establishing shared semantic definitions for core maritime concepts.
- Design and evolve a technology-neutral Canonical Data Model (CDM) to standardise data exchange for targeted integrations.
- Ensure consistency between operational data models and analytical representations to support reporting and advanced analytics.
-
Ownership, Governance & Decision-Making
- Establish and document clear ownership and stewardship for data domains, datasets, and analytics platforms.
- Define decision rights and resolve cross-domain data design conflicts in collaboration with domain and platform leaders.
- Drive metadata management, glossary definitions, and lineage standards to improve discoverability, traceability, and regulatory compliance.
-
Analytics Enablement
- Ensure the data architecture enables scalable reporting, self-service analytics, and ML-ready data without ad-hoc handling.
- Work with analytics and data scientists to align data structures, pipelines, and access patterns with real analytical use cases.
- Balance operational and analytical needs across real-time events, reporting, and historical analysis.
-
Collaboration & Architecture Practice
- Embed data architecture decisions into Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) and architecture review forums.
- Act as a bridge between domain experts, product managers, platform teams, and delivery teams to ensure data architecture is understood, adopted, and applied.
- Contribute to the evolution of platform-wide architecture standards and review practices.
-
Standards & Industry Alignment
- Align the company's data models with relevant maritime and logistics standards while supporting proprietary innovation.
- Evaluate emerging data and analytics practices and recommend improvements aligned with the company's strategy.
Requirements
- Core Skills
- 5+ years’ experience in data architecture, information architecture, or enterprise data modelling roles.
- Strong expertise in canonical data modelling and semantic modelling across complex, distributed systems.
- Experience defining data architectures that support both operational and analytical use cases.
- Familiarity with event-driven architectures, APIs, and cloud-native data platforms.
- Proven experience working with domain-driven design (DDD) teams in agile product organisations.
- Ability to influence decisions and drive adoption without formal authority.
We Offer
- Join a team that is growing rapidly and working on cutting-edge projects.
- Opportunity to work with a leading global solutions integrator.
