Alongside continued growth, we're dedicated to making a positive impact, having planted more than 419,000 trees through our environmental partnership with Vavista. As a Data Architect at Somerset Bridge Group, you'll play a key role in shaping how data is designed, managed and used across the business. You'll set the architectural direction for our data estate - from the point data first lands on the platform, through the Bronze, Silver and Gold layers of our Medallion Architecture, and all the way to analytics, AI and self service reporting. Working within the Microsoft Azure and Databricks ecosystem, you'll help build a data platform that's scalable, flexible and built to last. Your work will directly support high impact use cases, including advanced analytics, pricing models, AI/ML solutions and regulatory reporting - ensuring teams across the business can trust and use data with confidence. You'll collaborate closely with colleagues in Data Engineering, Data Science, Pricing, Platform Engineering and MLOps, acting as a trusted partner and technical authority. Together, you'll define clear standards for how data is structured, governed and consumed, helping the organisation grow without unnecessary complexity or fragmentation. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands on collaboration - influencing how data is used across the organisation as Somerset Bridge Group continues its journey towards its Top 5 in 5 ambition. What you'll be responsible for: Data Architecture & Modelling Define and own the architectural principles, standards and policies governing SBG's data estate from the landing zone through to the Gold layer. Design and govern the Medallion Architecture (Bronze / Silver / Gold), ensuring every layer is built for analytics, AI/ML and self service consumption. Own data modelling standards - conceptual, logical and physical - and ensure models are fit for both regulatory reporting and AI-driven insight. Define Unity Catalog structure, metadata standards and data lineage governance across the estate. Data Ingestion & Processing Define ingestion standards and data contracts for data arriving from the landing zone into the Bronze layer, working in partnership with the Development and Application Management team. Design and optimise ETL/ELT pipeline frameworks using Databricks, Delta Lake and Azure Data Factory. Ensure Silver and Gold layer data products are fit for purpose for analytics, pricing, AI and ML model consumption. Optimise data pipelines for efficiency, cost effectiveness and high performance, leveraging Databricks for big data processing and machine learning. Governance & Standards Act as the architectural authority for the data estate - reviewing designs, enforcing standards and preventing platform fragmentation as SBG scales. Ensure all data architecture decisions align with regulatory requirements - FCA, GDPR, Solvency II, IFRS 17 and BCBS 239. Define and maintain data architecture policies and guidelines ensuring long term scalability and sustainability. Analytics & AI Enablement Design the Gold layer to ensure data products are structured, documented and accessible for self service analytics and AI/ML model consumption. Collaborate with ML Ops and Data Science teams to define data product standards and feature engineering patterns. Evaluate and lead adoption of emerging Azure and Databricks capabilities - including Microsoft Fabric, OneLake and DirectLake - where they advance the data architecture. Drive innovation by evaluating and implementing emerging cloud based data technologies to enhance SBG's competitive advantage. Risk & Regulatory Proactively identify, manage and mitigate architectural and data risks encountered in day to day delivery. Act with integrity, adhering to FCA regulatory frameworks and ensuring best possible outcomes for customers. What you'll need: Strong stakeholder management across business, IT and compliance teams.

Data Ingestion & Processing Define ingestion standards and data contracts for data arriving from the landing zone into the Bronze layer, working in partnership with the Development and Application Management team. Design and optimise ETL/ELT pipeline frameworks using Databricks, Delta Lake and Azure Data Factory. Ensure Silver and Gold layer data products are fit for purpose for analytics, pricing, AI and ML model consumption. Optimise data pipelines for efficiency, cost effectiveness and high performance, leveraging Databricks for big data processing and machine learning.

Ensure all data architecture decisions align with regulatory requirements - FCA, GDPR, Solvency II, IFRS 17 and BCBS 239. Define and maintain data architecture policies and guidelines ensuring long term scalability and sustainability. Analytics & AI Enablement Design the Gold layer to ensure data products are structured, documented and accessible for self service analytics and AI/ML model consumption.
