Working on behalf of a local authority, Intech Recruitment has a permanent opportunity for an experienced Data Architect. . 

Over the last few years, they've been on a huge transformation, bringing their ICT department back in-house. This is a big change for the business, as they re-establish the confidence in a wholly insourced service. It’s given them the opportunity to be ahead of the curve, adopting cutting-edge technology and innovating the structure of their systems. In fact, while other councils have only just started to think about an approach like this,they’re already using technology similar to the private sector. It’s an exciting opportunity to influence ‘what’s next’, connect their ICT department with the wider organisation, and deliver tangible, positive outcomes for both the council and our local community.

The Data Architect is a Permanent role within IT, reporting to the Lead Enterprise and Service Design Architect, having accountability for managing the areas of data architecture, enterprise and solutions designs. They have an overarching technical and solutions design responsibility for the delivery of the Council's technology and applications portfolio. The post holder has the operational day to day authority and responsibility over all aspects of their teams, is able to influence and make decisions that are critical to the organisation’s success, leads the formulation and implementation of the IT operating plan, and has a full range of management and leadership skills. The demands of this role involve managing a number of competing activities, at times with demanding deadlines, on a regular basis, with a range of complexities, from a complex to tactical, including decisions that could impact the delivery of the service to the whole Council. In the absence of the Lead Enterprise and Service Design Architect this role will be required to deputise and act as the primary escalation point and communication channel to/from all other IT teams with internal and external stakeholders.
