The next phase is about maturing the platform improving architecture, engineering standards, scalability, automation and governance, while ensuring it can support the organisation's continued growth and future ambitions around AI. This isn't a role to simply maintain an existing platform, nor is it another Fabric implementation project. It's an opportunity to own the technical direction of an enterprise data platform and shape what it becomes next. The Role Working closely with the Head of Data, you'll become the technical lead for the data platform, taking ownership of its architecture, engineering direction and ongoing evolution. You'll lead a small team of Data Engineers while remaining close to the technology providing technical direction, mentoring the team, reviewing designs and getting involved in complex engineering challenges where required. You'll have the autonomy to understand what's already been built, challenge existing approaches where appropriate and establish the standards needed to develop a scalable, reliable and well-governed enterprise platform. Your responsibilities will include: Owning the technical roadmap and architecture of the Microsoft Fabric platform. Driving engineering standards, reusable patterns and development best practice. Improving CI/CD, automation, testing and wider DevOps maturity. Ensuring the platform remains scalable, reliable, secure and cost-effective. Supporting strong data governance, quality and platform controls. Leading and developing a small Data Engineering team. Supporting the integration of new data sources as the organisation continues to evolve. Working with senior technical and business stakeholders to translate requirements into platform capabilities. Helping establish the data foundations required to support future AI and automation initiatives. Remaining technically close to the platform and supporting the team with complex architecture and engineering decisions. What We're Looking For Strong Microsoft Fabric experience is essential. We're looking for someone who combines strong modern Data Engineering expertise with the ability to think beyond individual solutions and take ownership of a wider enterprise data platform. You'll ideally bring: Strong hands-on experience designing, building or evolving Microsoft Fabric data platforms. Strong modern Data Engineering experience and an understanding of scalable data architecture. Experience influencing platform architecture, technical standards and engineering best practice. A good understanding of modern engineering practices including CI/CD, Git, automation and testing . Experience leading, mentoring or providing technical direction to Data Engineers. Strong communication skills with the ability to work effectively with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders. Experience across areas such as Medallion Architecture, Microsoft Purview, data governance, Python/PySpark, real-time/streaming, metadata-driven engineering or AI-enabled data products would be advantageous, but we're not expecting one person to tick every box. Why Join? This is an opportunity to join at an interesting point in a major data transformation. The investment has been made, the core platform is established and the foundations are there. The challenge now is to take ownership of what comes next. You'll have genuine influence over the technical direction of an enterprise Microsoft Fabric platform, significant autonomy in how it evolves and the opportunity to work closely with an experienced Head of Data who is looking for a technical partner , rather than simply another engineer. For someone who has already developed strong Microsoft Fabric expertise and is now looking for greater ownership, technical leadership and the opportunity to shape a platform over the long term , this represents a genuine next step.

Full time
hackajob is collaborating with OneAdvanced to connect them with exceptional professionals for this role. OneAdvanced serves customers who often have deeply embedded, on-premise or hosted systems that are integral to how they operate. This is a senior, customer-facing architecture role that goes well beyond traditional pre-sales. You will act as the bridge between customer strategy, core business processes, technology design, and service delivery - working alongside sales teams to help organisations modernise their enterprise landscapes. You will also play a meaningful role in how we approach this commercially - partnering with Revenue Enablement to shape the technical sales methodology we use across the business. Day to day Work closely with customers to understand their current-state systems, data flows, and key processes - and map these to the capabilities of our workflows/applications and platform services. Define integration and data flow strategies across internal and third-party systems, which may include ERP, HR, CRM, and risk and compliance platforms. Advise on master data management approaches with a platform-first mindset, reducing architectural complexity and technical debt. Assess customer data readiness for AI adoption - identifying quality, governance, and lineage gaps that need to be resolved before AI features can deliver meaningful value, and guiding customers through a pragmatic path to readiness. Help customers understand how AI and automation can be embedded within their workflows to improve decision-making and operational efficiency. Engage substantively with responsible AI and governance questions, particularly with buyers in regulated environments such as health, care, and government - covering explainability, auditability, bias, and data subject rights. Navigate sector-specific constraints - whether data residency and security requirements in health and care, procurement framework obligations in public sector, or operational integration demands in transport, logistics, and manufacturing - and design solutions that address these without compromising platform simplicity. Understand the outcome the customer is looking to achieve, and architect the solution to move them from their existing tech stack to IQ, the intelligent system of work for their given sector. Articulate how a move to OneAdvanced simplifies enterprise architecture - making the case clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Contribute to the development of our technical sales methodology in partnership with Revenue Enablement and the broader Solutions team. Subject matter expert for Bid responses around architecture, security and AI, working as part of a group of stakeholders to complete responses Partner closely with Sales, Product and Services to ensure proposed solutions are executable, scalable, and aligned to customer outcomes. Represent OneAdvanced at customer and industry events, sharing insight on data architecture, integration design, and digital transformation in enterprise software Please note, applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK at the time of application. Technical depth Strong grounding in ERP architecture - data models, integration patterns, and business process dependencies. Comfortable with cloud platform design, multi-tenant SaaS, and modern security models. Migration literacy Experience assessing legacy, on-premise, or hosted environments. Able to identify complexity, data integrity risk, and dependency chains - and translate these into a coherent transition approach. Consultative instinct Skilled at discovery. Able to surface what is actually blocking a customer, not just what they say is blocking them. Confident challenging assumptions. Commercial awareness Understands the deal context. Can build a compelling total cost of ownership case and recognise when technical risk is genuine versus when it is customer anxiety in disguise. Methodology thinking Desirable - has contributed to or built technical sales playbooks - including qualification criteria and discovery documentation. Able to abstract patterns from deal experience and codify what good looks like. Cross-functional influence Comfortable working laterally without authority. Influences sellers, enablement, and Solutions colleagues through credibility and clear reasoning rather than hierarchy. Applied AI translation Able to move a customer from vague curiosity - or vague fear - about AI to a concrete, credible adoption roadmap. Understands how AI capabilities embed into existing workflows, not just what they are in theory. Conversant in responsible AI, data readiness, and governance requirements, particularly in regulated environments. Sector expertise Desirable - experience working in the sectors we serve, and an understanding of some of the regulatory compliance our customer operate under.
