Who we're looking for:

We're looking for a Sr. Manager, Data Solution Architecture to lead a team of architects who design and deliver scalable, secure, and reusable data solutions.

This role sits within the Data & AI team and is grounded in data architecture and engineering, platform and application design, and data modeling for analytics and AI, while also extending into broader solution architecture. You'll guide the team in shaping solutions end-to-end, from data pipelines and semantic models to integration patterns.

What you'll be doing:

Lead & Grow the Team:

• Lead and mentor a team of data and AI solution architects, fostering a hands-on, build-oriented culture
• Support architects in developing both design depth and practical implementation skills
• Create space for experimentation, prototyping, and learning using modern tools

Architect End-to-End Solutions:

• Identify, document, and promote reusable architectural patterns, standards, and best practices across data and solution design
• Guide the design of scalable, secure solutions in the data and AI space
• Work across the lifecycle, from high-level architecture to detailed design and implementation support
• Ensure solutions balance reusability, performance, and real-world delivery constraints

Stay Close to the Build:

• Partner with engineering teams during implementation
• Contribute to prototyping, design validation, and code reviews
• Bring practical insight into what can go wrong in production and how to mitigate it early

Shape Data & Platform Architecture:

• Lead the design of data models and data pipelines, ensuring quality, scalability, and usability
• Define patterns for data consumption, integration, and interoperability
• Collaborate with governance, security, and platform teams to ensure solutions meet enterprise standards

Collaborate Across the Organization:

• Work closely with product, engineering, and business teams to translate needs into practical solutions
• Influence decisions through clear communication and pragmatic trade-offs
• Drive alignment across architecture, engineering, and delivery teams
• Communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences, translating complex concepts into clear, actionable insights

Explore Emerging Capabilities:

• Bring curiosity and interest in AI-enabled solutions and development approaches
• Encourage experimentation with tools that accelerate design and delivery (e.g., coding assistants, automation, agentic patterns)

What you bring:

• We recognize strong candidates come from different paths. You might be a great fit if you have:
• Experience designing and delivering data solutions:
• Data pipelines (ETL/ELT, batch or streaming)
• Data modeling (conceptual, logical, physical, semantic)
• Data integration and analytics platforms
• A solid understanding of data platforms and cloud environments (e.g., Azure, AWS, Databricks, Snowflake. BigQuery)
• A hands-on mindset that gives you comfort participating in code reviews and technical discussions
• Experience leading, mentoring, or influencing others

You'll stand out if you also have:

• Interest and/or experience in AI/ML or AI-enabled data use cases
• Exposure to broader solution architecture
• Experience aligning data architecture with governance and quality practices
• A pragmatic approach - you know how to balance ideal design with delivery realities

How We Work:

• We are data-first, but not data-only
• We expect architects to be close to the build, not removed from it
• We value practical solutions over theoretical perfection
• We support people in growing into adjacent areas, not just staying in their lane
