Enterprise Data Architect

Addison Group • Contract • Houston, Texas, United States • 1w ago

About the Role:

We are seeking a Senior Enterprise Data Architect to lead the design and execution of our enterprise-wide data strategy. This role will shape how data is structured, governed, and integrated across the organization—ensuring our data is secure, consistent, and scalable. The architect will collaborate closely with IT and business teams to build data frameworks, evaluate emerging technologies, and enable truly data-driven decision-making across the enterprise.

Pay: $75-$85 an hour

What You’ll Do:

Set the vision: Define the company’s overall data architecture blueprint — including tools, models, and cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, etc.).
Design the structure: Build conceptual, logical, and physical data models to ensure consistency and scalability across systems.
Establish governance: Create and enforce standards for data quality, security, and compliance (GDPR, CCPA, etc.).
Integrate data: Design how data flows between systems and departments to reduce silos and improve accessibility.
Collaborate across teams: Act as the bridge between business units, data engineers, and IT leadership to align solutions with business needs.
Manage tools: Oversee or guide the use of enterprise data tools such as Collibra, Alation, and Informatica.
Stay ahead of trends: Evaluate new technologies—AI-driven analytics, real-time data streaming, and cloud-native platforms—through proof-of-concept projects.

What We’re Looking For:

Experience: 6–12 years in IT, with at least 3 years focused on data architecture or enterprise data management.
Mindset: A blend of technical depth and strategic thinking—someone who builds frameworks others can scale from.
Past titles may include:
- Enterprise Data Architect
- Data Strategy or Governance Lead
- Principal / Chief Data Architect
- Enterprise Architect (Data Focus)
Industry plus: Experience in utilities, oil & gas, or other regulated industries is highly preferred.
Certifications: TOGAF required (demonstrates enterprise architecture expertise).

Tools & Technologies:

Cloud: Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
Modeling: ERwin, PowerDesigner, or similar tools
Governance / Catalog: Collibra, Alation, Informatica, or comparable platforms
Data Concepts: Data mesh, data lakehouse, data lineage, metadata management
Nice to know: SQL, ETL, and general data engineering fundamentals

What We’re Not Looking For:

Candidates focused primarily on hands-on coding or ETL pipeline development
BI/reporting analysts without data architecture or governance experience
Professionals without exposure to enterprise-scale environments or TOGAF

Benefits: This position may be eligible for medical, dental, vision, 401(k)
