Widecombe in the Moor, Devon, United Kingdom Free-Work UK Full time £60,000 - £120,000 per year

At CGI, we empower our clients to turn data into a strategic asset that drives measurable business value. As a Senior Data Architect, you'll help shape the future of data transformation across industries — defining data strategies, designing modern cloud-based platforms, and enabling trusted, insight-rich foundations that power intelligent decision-making. Working at the forefront of architecture, innovation, and client engagement, you'll influence enterprise-scale data programmes while collaborating with talented teams who thrive on creativity, accountability, and shared success.

CGI was recognised in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work List 2025 and has been named a UK 'Best Employer' by the Financial Times. We offer a competitive salary, excellent pension, private healthcare, plus a share scheme (3.5% + 3.5% matching) which makes you a CGI Partner not just an employee. We are committed to inclusivity, building a genuinely diverse community of tech talent and inspiring everyone to pursue careers in our sector, including our Armed Forces, and are proud to hold a Gold Award in recognition of our support of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant. Join us and you'll be part of an open, friendly community of experts. We'll train and support you in taking your career wherever you want it to go.

Due to the secure nature of the programme, you will need to hold UK Security Clearance or be eligible to go through this clearance. This is a hybrid position.

Candidate Profile
In this role, you will shape and lead enterprise-scale data strategies that drive business transformation and deliver tangible client outcomes. You'll define architectural visions and guide delivery teams across the full data lifecycle — from strategy and design through implementation and assurance. Working with senior stakeholders, you'll translate business needs into robust data solutions that align with CGI's standards and client ambitions.

You'll act as a trusted advisor, combining strategic vision with technical leadership, while mentoring teams and helping grow CGI's data architecture community. This role gives you the opportunity to take ownership of impactful programmes, innovate with emerging data technologies, and be supported by a collaborative environment that values expertise and creativity.

Key Responsibilities Include

  • Lead & Advise: Partner with clients to define and deliver data strategies aligned with business outcomes.
  • Design & Architect: Define target data architectures and lead the design of cloud data platforms, MDM, and Customer 360 solutions.
  • Enable & Assure: Provide architecture assurance, governance, and quality oversight across multiple delivery streams.
  • Engage & Grow: Contribute to pre-sales and thought leadership, shaping CGI's data transformation propositions.
  • Develop & Mentor: Build the capability of CGI's data architecture community through coaching and knowledge sharing.

Required Qualifications To Be Successful In This Role
To succeed in this role, you'll bring a proven record of delivering large-scale data architecture and strategy engagements, combining hands-on technical knowledge with strategic and client-facing experience. You'll have a deep understanding of data management, integration, and governance practices, as well as the ability to lead teams and influence senior stakeholders.

You Should Have

  • Extensive experience leading enterprise data architecture and transformation programmes.
  • Strong understanding of data governance, integration, and modelling best practices.
  • Proven track record in designing and implementing MDM and Customer 360 solutions.
  • Experience engaging directly with senior stakeholders (CDO, CIO, business leaders).
  • Familiarity with modern cloud data platforms (Azure, AWS, or Snowflake).
  • Previous experience in consulting or systems integration environments.
