We are looking for 2 Lead Data Architects to take pivotal roles within our Data Growth and Operations (DGO) directorate - the area that provides the statistical infrastructure (in the broadest sense) and underpinning frameworks necessary to enable the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Government Statistical Service (GSS) and the wider research community to make better use of data.
Reporting directly to the Chief Data Architect, you will be jointly responsible for more than 20 Data Architects - one of the largest dedicated data architecture teams in the public sector - and help to coordinate and direct the work of our two primary teams (data design & metadata governance). You will also be at the centre of much of ONS' work with central government and other departments, and your leadership will drive data standards & architecture across all of government.
As an accomplished Data Architect, you've got a deep understanding of the importance of good metadata & consistent data models; you've previously developed and rolled out a data standardisation strategy within an organisation; you've worked in multi-disciplinary teams with the primary aim of enabling effective data management in an organisation; and you have experience working proactively to ensure data management & architecture is at the forefront of consideration where any transformation programmes are concerned.
In addition to these expertise, you'll be capable of engaging and communicating with lots of varied stakeholders, with different levels of technical knowledge, data understanding and seniority. You can work strategically to solve complex problems as they arise, and can coordinate your team to implement both solutions and preventative measures.
