Provide solution direction across Azure, AWS and Databricks platforms, leveraging modern toolchains (e.g. dbt, Delta Lake, Fabric) to build scalable, governed pipelines.
Act as a trusted advisor to business and IT leaders, guiding decision-making on platform adoption, team structure, and data enablement priorities.
Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams—data engineers, architects, analysts, and business SMEs—to deliver value-focused outcomes.
Promote data stewardship, quality control, metadata management, and best practices across delivery engagements.
Support change management initiatives through coaching, stakeholder engagement, and capability uplift.

Qualifications
7+ years of experience in data consulting, architecture, or engineering roles with demonstrable project delivery in large, complex organisations.
Deep knowledge of data governance frameworks (e.g. DAMA-DMBOK, DCAM) and practical experience implementing ownership, stewardship, and data quality models.
Strong proficiency in data modelling, transformation design (ETL/ELT), and platform engineering across cloud-native environments (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
Proven experience delivering solutions on Azure, Databricks, or Snowflake, including orchestration, observability, and governance integration.
Proficient in Python and SQL, with hands-on experience using data engineering tools such as dbt, Spark, Fabric, or Synapse.
Demonstrated ability to lead client workshops, navigate ambiguity, and provide structure to complex data initiatives.
Comfortable working across stakeholders, from data engineers to executives, with strong communication and storytelling skills.
Experience in regulated industries or asset-intensive sectors (e.g. energy, resources, mining) is highly valued.
Relevant certifications in Azure, AWS, GCP and Databricks, or data governance frameworks are desirable.
