Establish semantic standards for the Client Platform, including naming conventions, annotation requirements, foundational ontology-alignment patterns and shared vocabularies. Work collaboratively with relevant architecture, data and governance teams to ensure consistent implementation of these standards. Provide expert guidance to technical teams without taking ownership of software engineering or platform-infrastructure delivery. 2. Business-Unit Enablement Work directly with subject-matter experts and data modellers across the organisation to develop their first canonical domain models. Facilitate structured workshops in which subject-matter experts articulate their domain knowledge and data modellers translate it into formal semantic-model decisions. Apply a hands-on and pragmatic approach rather than relying on theoretical training alone. Build capability progressively by initially working alongside teams, then coaching them and ultimately enabling them to operate independently. Develop reusable guidance materials, including: Modelling guides Worked examples based on real business domains Ontology-design patterns Decision frameworks for common modelling questions Help teams make practical decisions about model granularity, class hierarchies, properties, relationships and reuse. 3. Stakeholder Engagement and Adoption Explain the business value of the semantic layer to non-technical stakeholders using clear, outcome-focused language. Present tangible examples of how well-designed canonical models support business and technology outcomes. Address stakeholder concerns honestly, including where semantic approaches introduce additional effort and where that investment is expected to deliver value. Promote adoption across culturally and technically diverse stakeholder groups. Demonstrate how semantic modelling can improve: Data findability Interoperability Intellectual-property protection Cross-business data understanding Application-development Data-product descriptions Integration efficiency and cost 4. Modelling Quality Assurance Act as the expert reviewer within the model-publication process during the initial increments of the Client Platform. Review submitted models for: Structural quality Standards compliance Pattern adherence Reusability Interoperability readiness Define clear and practical criteria for what a high-quality canonical domain model looks like. Produce concrete examples that teams can use as reference models. Identify and challenge modelling anti-patterns before they become Embedded across the organisation. Ensure that data and governance policies are reflected correctly in the models, while recognising that policy ownership sits with the relevant governance teams. Essential Experience Significant hands-on ontology-development experience within an industrial, commercial or enterprise environment. Practical expertise in: Web Ontology Language - OWL Resource Description Framework - RDF RDF Schema - RDFS Simple Knowledge Organization System - SKOS SPARQL OWL API Experience designing, developing and maintaining enterprise semantic models or canonical domain models. Experience operating open-standards graph databases, including configuration, data loading, querying and performance considerations. Demonstrable ability to translate complex knowledge from subject-matter experts into formal semantic models. Experience introducing semantic technologies to teams with limited or no previous exposure to ontology-based approaches. Evidence of achieving successful adoption and capability transfer, rather than solely delivering technical artefacts. Experience facilitating requirements-gathering and domain-modelling workshops with technical and non-technical participants. Essential Skills Strong ontology-engineering and knowledge-modelling capability. Ability to explain semantic-modelling concepts to non-technical audiences without unnecessary jargon. Ability to work with specialist domain experts and extract the knowledge required to produce coherent, usable models. Strong requirements-analysis and stakeholder-management skills. Comfortable working in an environment where the technology and operating model are still developing. Pragmatic, patient and able to provide clarity in ambiguous situations. Strong views on modelling quality, balanced with the flexibility to respond to practical delivery constraints. Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to produce concise and usable guidance rather than academic documentation. Clear and straightforward verbal communication. Comfortable working across multidisciplinary and multicultural teams. Able to influence technical decisions without direct ownership of engineering delivery. Desirable Experience Broader graph-database experience. Requirements-life cycle management. Product-management or platform-product experience. Data-governance implementation. Enterprise data architecture. Team leadership, coaching or capability development. Experience working across multiple business units or federated organisations. Scope of the Role The role is intended to build lasting capability within the platform team and wider business. The objective is to move progressively from hands-on delivery to coaching and advisory support as internal teams become more autonomous. This is.*not a software-engineering role*. The contractor will not be responsible for building the underlying platform infrastructure but must have sufficient technical expertise to guide the teams responsible for its delivery. This is.*not a data-governance ownership role*. Governance policies will be owned by the appropriate governance stakeholders; this role will help ensure those policies are implemented effectively within semantic models and platform practices.
