As an Enterprise Data Architect, you'll be responsible for designing and developing the company's data infrastructure. You'll work with IT to ensure that all of our data sources are secured and compliant. You will also support business by integrating information from different systems into one central location so that we can analyse it in order to make informed decisions about our future direction.RequirementsOLAP architectures to increase data sharing and provide end users with relevant information.Creates, enhances, or modifies OLAP and ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) designs to meet business needsDetermines which data extracts can be integrated into BI toolsDevelops and implements real-time BI toolsOwner, custodian and champion of the company Information & Data capability, ensuring cross-group alignment of data assets with other functional areas and business functions, including alignment to the enterprise architectureTranslates strategic requirements into a usable target enterprise information architecture and roadmap, which may include an enterprise data model, associated metamodel, common business vocabulary, ontologies and taxonomies, used to guide enterprise solution development and achieve consistency of information assets across the application portfolioEnsure the enterprise information architecture maps to the enterprise architecture, and that all existing data/information assets are identified, stewarded and leveraged across the enterpriseDefinition of appropriate company Information architecture frameworks, reference models, standards, policies and practices Setup, implementation and governance over Information & Data architecture toolsets used to design communicate the enterprise and information architectureEnsure a focus on information/data quality by developing and publishing enterprise data standards such as a common business vocabulary, naming conventions, data standards, transformation rules and related enterprise consistency specifications.Participates in the definition of technical standards and guidelines that pertain to data and information use, security, access and governance (including defining accountabilities in support of data quality mandates)Drives communication and use/alignment of the target Information strategy and architecture (Blueprint) across company Group stakeholdersProvides enterprise-wide assurance over the integrity and appropriateness of solution architecture designs, using company approved standardMonitor emerging industry standards (such as XML, RDF, OWL andXBRL, GDPR) to determine impact on the enterprise information architecture, positioning improvements to the environment where appropriateIncremental review of data performance and value realisation objectives in support of data standardization, cleanliness and reuseInformation & Data representative in architecture and design related forum(s) as a key decision-making stakeholder, including participation in data integration, business intelligence and content management committeesGroup stakeholders, ensuring they are consistent and well-integrated with the established enterprise information architecture, using metadata management and/or a repository to promote reuse and standards adoption.Active member in pre-execution analysis and business caseDevelopment of new projects impacting data and the enterpriseInformation architecture. Provides an enterprise view of dependencies, impact and overlap against the existing portfolio and roadmapIdentifies Information & data risks, assesses the potential impact on the enterprise in line with the enterprise target architecturesCollaboration with all project stakeholders to review the objectives, requirements, designs and constraints of each solution, determining conformance with the approved EA BluePrintRecommends the most suitable technical architecture and defines the solution at a high level whilst updating the Information Model asappropriateModels designed and updated using the standardized modelling tool, stored in the enterprise architecture repositoryLead in design of project Conceptual, Logical Architecture(s) and roadmap(s), recommending the most suitable approach in alignment with the target Information architecture. The designs should consider the following:o Business (and Functional area) & IT strategy Across SA, MAL and VEo Enterprise architecture strategyo Digital trends and emerging technologieso Existing Data & Information Initiatives (Incl.
