The IT Data and Analytics department within the IT group serves as a critical enabler for the effective use of data platforms and AI by managing data architecture, providing scalable data and AI solutions that will empower the bank to leverage insights for strategic decision-making, customer insights, customer personalization, and risk management.

As Data Architect within the IT Data and Analytics team, you will be responsible for designing and optimizing data models, factoring in data integrity, scalability and security to support enterprise reporting, analytics and AI initiatives. Part of the role is to define data standards, manage metadata, and collaborate with stakeholders to translate business requirements into actionable data design/s part of the over-all data solution adhering to governance policies of the bank.

Role Responsibilities:

Data Model Design

o Develop and maintain conceptual, logical and physical data models within the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform using tools like Erwin Data Modeler to support reporting, analytics and operational data extracts

o Design data structures optimized for performance, scalability and maintainability

Data Integration & Mapping

o Define and document data mappings for ETL processes and integration across multiple components of the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform (using Azure Data Factory for data movement and Azure Databricks for transformation).

Data Access & Security

o Implement and manage Unity Catalog for metadata management and access control in Azure Databricks

o Ensure compliance to the bank’s internal and external data security and privacy standards

Data Optimization & Performance Tuning

o Design and optimize data models to improve query performance, scalability, and storage efficiency of the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform

o Implement partitioning, indexing and other performance-enhancing techniques

Metadata Management

o Manage and track metadata across data models within the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform

Collaboration & Stakeholder management

o Work closely with data engineers, business analysts, and IT teams to understand business requirements and translate them into technical data design and/or solution

Version Control

o Manage version control for data models and ensure changes are tracked and communicated across teams using data from the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform

o Track/oversee change management processes for data model updates and revisions

Documentation

o Create and maintain data dictionaries, ERDs, and other technical documentation to support ongoing development and upcoming developments that will utilize the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform

Competencies:

Technical Competencies:

  • Data Modeling: Proficient in designing conceptual, logical and physical data models using tools like Erwin Data Modeler and with strong understanding of normalization, denormalization and schema design for analytics and operational systems. This includes data models that support Azure Medallion Architecture, for clarity / separation of raw, transformed, and enriched data layers (Bronze, Silver, Gold) to optimize performance and data flow within the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform
  • Data Integration and Mapping: Proficient in defining data flows, transformation logic, and data integration strategies
  • Data Standards: Ability to establish and enforce data modeling standards, naming conventions and metadata practices within the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform
  • Performance Optimization and Data Relationships: Design optimized data structures for scalability and performance, implementing partitioning and other techniques to enhance optimal data retrieval
  • Metadata management: Track metadata in both the Unity Catalog layer and medallion architecture to maintain transparency across various stages within Enterprise Data Platform
  • Version Control: Manage version control for data models and ensure changes are tracked and communicated across teams using data from the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform. This includes tracking/overseeing change management processes for data model updates and revisions.
  • Documentation: Create and maintain data dictionaries, ERDs, and other technical documentation to support ongoing development and upcoming developments that will utilize the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform

Soft Skills Competencies:

  • Analytical Thinking & Problem-Solving: Ability to decompose complex data challenges and translate business requirements into optimized data architecture design within the bank’s Enterprise Data Platform
  • Collaboration & Communication: Strong collaboration skills to work with data engineers, business analysts, and other teams. This includes the ability to communicate complex data concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
