Do you want to take the next step to become an Enterprise Data Architect?


Do you want to own the vision and oversee overall data architecture for a brand-new ERP implementation?


If so, this Lead Data Architect position at a Midlands based Housing Association could be just the thing for you!


As Lead Data Architect, you will introduce a clearly defined overall data architecture, introducing best practices and leading the Data architecture team. You will act as a bridge between non-technical stakeholders and technical practitioners to deliver the group’s data architecture vision.


The key aim of your role will be to collaborate with business stakeholders, data scientists, analysts and IT teams to understand business needs and translate them into effective data architecture solutions. You’ll be the technical expert on group data architecture strategy and roadmap development, so there’s loads of scope for you to influence the direction of travel.


To achieve this architecture, you will work with internal and external 3rd party partners on the technical aspects, so your key remit will be to use your design and data background to define the structure and overall plans.


As Lead Data Architect you will:

  • Translate business needs into effective data architecture solutions
  • Be the technical and strategic lead for group data architecture strategy and roadmap development.
  • Deliver architectural standards and principles, product-specific guidelines and usability design standards.
  • Design and implement scalable data architectures to support business goals, including data warehousing, data lakes and real-time data processing.
  • Lead the evaluation, selection and integration of new data technologies and tools to optimise data management processes.
  • Provide leadership and guidance to the data architectural and engineering teams, ensuring they follow architectural best practices and design principles.


You’ll be an excellent fit as Solution Architect if you have:

  • Proven experience as a Data Architect or in a similar technical leadership role for complex ERP solution deployments.
  • Proven experience designing and implementing complex data systems like data warehouses and reporting and analytics solutions.
  • Knowledge of TOGAF principles and have experience designing value-led architectures, translating logical architecture into physical implementations.
  • Extensive experience on data warehouse.
  • Experience of tailoring an architectural framework to meet specific organisational requirements.


You will be reporting into a Technical Director and partner with stakeholders across the entire business, so this is an amazing opportunity to set the data architectural foundations for this Housing Association to better serve their tenants.


A salary of £90,000 is on offer with a great benefits package. The position can be hybrid at the office in the Midlands.


Interviews will be taking place in December, with the Technical Director looking to review applications as soon as possible.


Please apply to this advert, reach out to me on LinkedIn, or contact me on to learn more. If you don’t have an updated CV, no problem, send what you have, and we can take it from there.


I look forward to hearing from you.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.

How to Present Machine Learning Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Machine learning is driving change across nearly every industry—from retail and finance to health and logistics. But while the technology continues to evolve rapidly, the ability to communicate it clearly has become just as important as building the models themselves. Whether you're applying for a junior ML engineer role, a research position, or a client-facing AI consultant job, UK employers increasingly expect candidates to explain complex machine learning solutions to non-technical audiences. In this guide, you’ll learn how to confidently present your work, structure your message, use simple visuals, and explain the real-world value of machine learning in a way that makes sense to people without a background in data science.
