The Role & Responsibilities:

PwC is seeking an experienced Data Architect to join a transformation programme. This is a key role supporting a multi-year, agile transformation with a strong greenfield mindset, aimed at delivering a Middleware MVP to go live this year.

You will play a pivotal part in shaping and aligning the data architecture across new and Legacy platforms, with an initial focus on data flows, integrations, and understanding the current "as-is" data estate. The programme includes a cross-functional team spanning architecture, delivery enablement, requirements, customer journey mapping, and process mapping.

What you'll do:

• Own and define data architecture deliverables across the programme, ensuring alignment with evolving solution architecture.
• Map and document the current as-is data estate, including data domains, sources, flows, and integration points.
• Ensure strong alignment between Salesforce and Legacy system data architecture, with a focus on seamless integration and data consistency.
• Collaborate closely with data modellers, solution architects, SMEs, platform managers, and data business analysts to build a comprehensive understanding of the data landscape.
• Deliver critical data architecture inputs to support the HMod architecture transition, focusing on integration touchpoints between Salesforce and Legacy platforms.
• Identify data constraints, risks, issues, and blockers that may impact proposed solution architecture options and delivery timelines.
• Support detailed design and build planning for Middleware MVP, ensuring data architecture is delivery-ready.
• Work in close partnership with the Enterprise Data Architect, ensuring alignment with enterprise data strategy, governance, and standards.

Key Accountabilities, Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience as a Data Architect working across complex enterprise environments.
• Strong capability in data integration architecture, including cross-system data flows, interfaces, and dependencies.
• Experience supporting large-scale transformation programmes within financial services (insurance experience highly desirable).
• Strong understanding of customer data and operational data domains such as sales, servicing, claims, and customer journeys.
• Ability to engage effectively with UK-based stakeholders, including senior SMEs and business/technology leaders.
• Comfortable working in Agile delivery environments and fast-moving greenfield programmes.

• Salesforce data architecture experience (advantageous).
• Experience with modern data platforms, analytics enablement, and enterprise-wide data strategy alignment.
• Experience delivering architecture inputs for Middleware or integration MVPs in regulated environments.

At PwC we want every individual to feel valued, respected and empowered to contribute fully. Creating an environment where everyone belongs and thrives unlocks greater innovation, productivity and deeper engagement.
